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!

I feel the same way. This is such a basic necessity in any app capable of displaying photos. Not to mention, OneDrive for iOS has a dedicated “Photos” tab. Come on Microsoft. We need to be able to sort by the date photos were taken. This is just poor programming!

Can you add the facial recognition of grouping by faces friends and family also in the OneDrive app?

The OneDrive developers choose to ignore such fundamental feature

So dissapointing that this is still not added. Seems like such an easy feature to incorporate. Please include this Microsoft!

When storing pictures in OneDrive, they are placed chronologically. However, if one creates an album, this function disappears and this is annoying, especially if you want to see the progress that takes place over time. Why can't the same function exist in the two systems ?

More than a year already? I’m just new here and never thought that this simple feature does not exist in IOS.

No, still not sorted by EXIF date taken. I’m using Onedrive beta on iOS.

This is working RIGHT. I just tested today (latest IOS and ONEDRIVE version available)

I guess I will just add to the crowd and say how extremely annoying and frustrating it is that Onedrive ignores the date taken and takes the date created instead - which, by the way, it modifies once you upload the videos / pictures to one drive. seems also like this bug is not even consistent and some media is showing date taken while some is showing date created. A MESS, and really bothering my OCD. most frustrating experience I have ever had. I may just pay for another service and put this one on the back burner as it came with my Office package.

Completely agree. It’s ridiculous that to see my photos in order me has to log into the website. There’s no reason for the apps to not also display by date taken

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

Win10-App works fine - but why a difference with iOS?
