Can we please have chronological sorting by file creation date in Albums.
Onedrive has come on leaps and bounds in the last 5-6 years, but there are some things missing that make me scratch my head and think, yeah, maybe I am the only one that wants this feature.
But, sorting photos by file creation date in albums is not one of those things. It is one of the biggest complaints I see and it's been a problem for ages. Nearly everyone would like the ability to create an album, share it, and start filling it with photos so they display in a CHRONOLOGICAL order.
Strangely, the iOS (can't speak for Android) app seems to honour this. Browsers = no.
So anyone without the App opens the link in the browser and is met with a sea of randomly ordered photos. It just looks unprofessional, and this isn't some kind of 'free best endeavours' SW either.
Yes, I have tried the basic album sort-order / grid / waterfall thing to no avail; it makes no difference - photos are still randomly-ordered.
Surely it can't be that difficult to implement a proper sort criteria - it works in Files?

I understand that you are having trouble sorting photos by file creation date in albums on OneDrive. Unfortunately, there is currently no sorting option in the album, nor can you customize the sorting of photos, you can only sort photos by folders.
However, you can sort photos by DATE TAKEN instead of DATE MODIFIED by following these steps:
1.On the OneDrive website, go to the Photos section .
2.Click on the All Photos tab.
3.On the top right corner, click on the Sort by button.4.Select Date taken from the drop-down menu.

- There is no Sort By button
There is no "Sort by" button in the top right corner.
I try these steps but as soon as I click the photos tap it goes to the app where you can’t sort the photos
