Manual photos order would be nice to have as well. |

A bug on mobile. While adding photos to the album the order of albums is from oldest to the recent one (at the end). Shared photos dropdown above shows them correctly. |

When ordering albums by "Most recent photo", web app 1.75.1 seems to sort by I think the common expectation is to sort by file creation date. Would it be possible to change the feature this way? |

@bo0tzz just closed #4735 as a duplicate of this feature request, so I want to clarify: is adding sorting options inside individual albums still planned? Otherwise, I will create a separate request so this doesn't get lost. |

Seeing as this is open since 2022, would it be possible to add a small workaround until this feature is implemented: just invert the current sort order, doesn't have to be configurable or anything. Albums will be viewed from oldest to newest photo 99.9% of the time so it would essentially solve most people's issue without having to code a configuration mechanism or anything. |

I am one more user who hopes that the album sort order gets reverted: oldest to newest seems to be right for 99,9%! |

Agreed, as a photo album tells a story, I think the default sorting option should be from oldest to newest. With the holy grail being this, ordering photos however we want While it's mostly the case, a story is not always told from oldest to newest. Sometimes a photo you took a few minutes later is better appearing first. Maybe because the one you originally took had other people on it, or the light wasn't the best, and 10 minutes later, the conditions were better and thus you went back and took a new pic. For which a simple "older to newer" sort option wouldn't be sufficient to cover this case, and thus ruin the story you wanted to tell. |

I've just tried this for the first time, and the changes to ordering don't persist to shared links to the album. If I set the order from oldest to newest, when I open the shared link to the album the web UI shows it in newest to oldest still. |

Please include a timeline view for albums on mobile. This will be especially beneficial if the upcoming automation features allow for "smart" albums. |

Would this include ordering the pictures within an album using the original file names? I am scanning a bunch of old photos and can easily order them with their file name while I am scanning. When I import those photos in Immich, the order currently seems random. |

Feature detail
It would be nice to have a sort option for the albums view. Google Photos currently provides three such options:
It would also be nice to have similar sorting options inside of albums (and possibly on the main photos feed) - things like:
