Photo in wrong order

This latest update changed the order of photos to oldest first. That is the absolute worst. Most current should be first. Common sense tells you that. Please fix

We can't fix anything as we're all end users like yourself. This is a user to user forum. Apple engineers are not here. Tell Apple what missing features you'd like restored or new features added in Photos via Feedback - Photos - Apple


What I use is a Smart Album with this criteria:



Then I can sort any way I'd like except manually.

I'm not sure what you mean. In an Album you can sort the Library either way.

even with your own custom ordering.


In the main Library view, sorting is as it has always been--newest is where you start. So when you open the main window, you're seeing the most recent pictures. It seems to me that's what most people would want. I don't think it would be "common sense" to start at pictures from 10 years ago, or something like that.


What's new is that you can sort the Library by date added in addition to date captured.


Makes sense to me…
