Description
When uploading an image from 2 years ago, the photo viewer places it in the first position, even though the metadata is correct. Is this intended? I believe it would make more sense to sort them by creation date. If this is actually a bug that is not reproducible, I’m happy to provide further information.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the upload of an image from two years ago and inspect how the photo viewer orders it relative to newer uploads; confirm whether the metadata contains a creation date. Done means the viewer consistently orders photos by creation date, with regression coverage if the project provides an applicable test location.
