Buried Photos - chronological Versus Date Added

How can I change the Apple photo application to arrange the photos based on when they are added? When I get a picture shared with me it is getting hidden because it's going in there chronologically from the date taken, rather than the date added. For an example, my mom had shared an adorable video of my grandfather doing the hula hoop, but I am unable to because it is was taken in the past. This is an ongoing issue, and there must be a way to set it up not to do this?

You can't.


The Imports heading in the Library will show you items added recently in date order. Going forward, the many other options available in Photos might be useful, like Media types -> Video taps etc.

Are you using Photos on a Mac or on an iPhone? This is not quite clear, because your asking in the Photos for Mac forum, but below your question it is saying "iPhone".

On a Mac you can create a smart album with the rule "Date added > is in the last ... Days" and combine it with a rule "Photos is video" to find the recently added videos quickly.
