Sort photos by date taken not date created in OneDrive
When sorting photos by date, the app sorts by date file was created in OneDrive as opposed to the date when the photo was taken.
When looking Photos menu, it list files by upload date or date created in OneDrive, from the user perspective, the date uploaded to OneDrive it's absolutely irrelevant.
This has been around since before 2015, isn't it time to change how Photos menu lists the content or at least give user the option to choose?
This bug defeats completely the Photo menu purpose, the one place to see all your mixed by date pics!

This has been active since 2016. That is unreal. All people are asking for is that photos on OneDrive sort in date taken on iPad and phones. It is all ready being done online so it can be done. When is this going to be sorted...

I just discovered this major flaw today. What a joke. What is seriously annoying about this, is that it’s only on the app, I. The web browser this issue doesn’t occur. I discovered this my uploading some old documents to OneDrive for archival purposes. No I have a thousand pictures that are 10 years old showing on top of my photo timeline for this month.

I also think, this type of sorting is absolutely necessary!
As I heard from Microsoft, they will only investigate into this if the votes rise over 500!
Therefore it would be the best, if you can also give 3 votes to the request with the currently most votes.
Let's get over 500 votes to get this feature done!

Hello PO of onedrive, when are you starting to learn from the users. Ridiculous that after one year this is still an open bug. Sorting on date taken in the ios app should be the obvious way to sort, not the date added to onedrive?????

Love how you get 1T cloud storage + is across every platform. Though the photo cloud library needs some updating. It’s way behind both Icloud and google photos. They are not in order by date

I’ve just migrated to onedrive from iCloud and Dropbox and after seeing this - I plan to migrate back. It’s an absolute sh*t-show. Shameful to be so backwards. It’s jumbled photos all over the place and makes no sense at all.

The photo app in OneDrive is almost useless without the ability to sort by date taken. Going back to iCloud if this not fixed ASAP. Never would have wasted my time with this. Quit wasting time showing snowflakes falling and do something useful.

I think it would be fair if you (MS) could comment on this issue now. This entry is almost a year old. Top "Hot" user voice entry for a long time. And an issue that must be very trivial to solve.
It seems you simply don't care...

When I see my picture via PC on google chrome the picture is sorted in correct way. When I see same pictures on Iphone then the picture is wrongly sorted. It is a big problem since i can not use the one drive app on iphone/ipad.

Without that feature OneDrive is not usable for me (as I wanted to use it especially for photo storage and mobile access) and will force me to move to other cloud storage solutions.
Too bad! :-(

Why does it seem that Windows still doesn't care about this serious and urgent issue?

Yes this is a must. Every time you move a photo into an album it's moved to the top of the Newest list. Very annoying, we need a sort by Date Taken option.
