I agree; if Proton Photos is sorting by "date taken," it should honor that metadata consistently, whether the photo is from 1965 or 2025. Many of us are digitizing old family collections, so proper chronological sorting is essential. Falling back to file creation or modified dates for older photos defeats the purpose of preserving photo history.
As someone who cares about preserving metadata and fixing technical issues, I also find tools like https://www.scanabug.com/ useful for identifying problems in web-based services and improving the overall user experience. Hopefully, Proton will fix this bug soon.
