Fix the Photos Sort Order Bug
(NB Photos in browser: android app seems to sort properly.)
I have many photos, mainly jpegs, that pre-date the digital revolution. I have scanned/re-photographed these old photos either from negative or print and have fixed up the "date taken" to correspond with when the original photo was taken. For people with full family collections this is probably not unusual.
I am trying my best to migrate my photo library to Proton, but the its the little things that are annoying: the main photos sort by reverse date taken, UNTIL you get to about 1970 (I have tested this) - older photos then start appearing at the top - presumably by date created/modified?
Can you please fix this bug?
It must be a bug (or weird "expected" behavior) - a date is a date if you are using it for sort you should honor it no matter what.
Please don't respond to this with some album functionality - it's not the same.
PS: Annoyingly, Google Photos handles this properly - but then they can mine my data.

I get that for smart phone users reverse chronological can make sense when the backup feature is enabled. But for us migrating from other big tech platforms, this is nonsensical.
Please add an option to specify the sorting order of photo's in an album.
