Sorting Recent Photos Folder

It looks like this has been asked many times, with the same unsatisfactory answer. Please allow us to optionally sort the recent photos album by the date the photo was taken, instead of the date the photo was uploaded. Most of the people suggesting this do not want to scroll through photos using the All Photos option due to personal preferences on user interface. How hard is it to add a sorting option by data that already exists? You can already do it for all other albums.

If you want your suggestion to reach the ears of people who might be able to do something about it, instead of just other users like us, please use their defined pathway for such feedback: Feedback - Photos - Apple

They are unlikely to reply, and they may or may not do anything with the suggestion, but we have been assured that they will consider suggestions submitted that way.

The Recents albums is has been provided, so we are having at least one album that is sorted by the Date added, because there no way to sort other albums by the Date added. We simply need one album sorted by the Date added.


If you do not want to use the All Photos album to browse your photos by the date taken, create your own "My Recents" album from the most recent photos in Recents. Your own album can be sorted by the date taken.
