However, as it stands now, 'Folders View' sorts folders by Ascending Name order, so if you've named your folders in reverse date order (I.E. But they removed the option to do this recently anyway. Until recently, it was possible to use the 'Folders View' and then choose the sort order of folders, however it was painful to use as there wasn't a way to change the sort order for lots of folders/subfolders/files at once, you had to do it for each individual folder, which made it pretty much unusable. The next option in the Photos App is 'Folders View'. I guess if they allowed you to drag the scroll bar on Windows 10 Mobile, then they could potentially allow the user to choose the sort order of their choice. On a PC with a mouse it's not such a problem as you can drag the scroll bar to the bottom, but on Windows 10 Mobile where it won't allow you to drag the scroll bar, it'll take forever to get the bottom by flicking the touch screen, especially if you have thousands of photos. The 'Collection View' in the Photos App shows the photos in Newest First 'Date Taken' order for digital photos, and Newest First 'Date Created' order for scanned photos (unless you specifically add 'Date Taken' dates to the scanned photo's metadata fields).Īt the moment, I think the reason why they won't let you change the order is so that when you add new photos, they appear at the top and you don't have to scroll all the way to the to the bottom to see your latest photos. For what I think you're trying to do (change order of Collection View), you can't.
