Date taken option removed!

Some photographers have reported issues where OneDrive ignores the "Date Taken" metadata and instead sorts photos by the upload date, leading to disorganized files.

This problem often arises when photos are uploaded via the OneDrive mobile app or web interface, which may not preserve the original EXIF data. Additionally, actions like marking photos as favorites can sometimes strip this metadata.

Maybe you can try to use this Potential Workarounds:

Use the OneDrive Desktop App: Uploading photos through the OneDrive desktop application may better preserve EXIF metadata compared to mobile or web uploads.

Avoid Marking Photos as Favorites: Some users have found that marking photos as favorites can remove the "Date Taken" information. It's advisable to avoid this feature if maintaining metadata is crucial.

Edit Metadata Before Uploading: Using tools like ExifTool or XnView MP, you can batch edit the "Date Taken" field to match the file's creation or modification date before uploading. This ensures that OneDrive has the correct metadata from the start.

While these steps may not fully replicate the lost "Date Taken" feature, they can help mitigate the impact on your photo organization.
