Sorting items in an album

Sorting items in an album screen in Piktures
  1. Open the album in the Photos tab.
  2. Tap ⋮ at the top right.
  3. Tap the row that shows the current order, such as Modification date.
  4. In Sort by, choose an order and tap Save.

The orders

  • Alphabetical: by file name.
  • Modification date: the date the file was last changed.
  • Size: the size of the file.
  • Date: the date the photo was taken. When a file has no such date, its modification date is used.
  • Creation date: the date the file was added to the phone.

A new choice starts in descending order, such as newest first. Tap it again to reverse it: the arrow shows the direction.

By default, albums are sorted by Modification date, newest first.
