Description
When I open the Media tab in the iOS app, it appears that my photos are sorted by the modified date. In my opinion, it would make more sense to sort them by creation date. This way all photos would appear in the correct chronological order.
Therefore, I would suggest to replace the modified date by the creation date for sorting. Alternatively, one could add an option for users to choose between different sorting criteria.
Version: Nextcloud for iOS 2.24.1.0

Research direction
Start in the iOS app's Media tab implementation and trace which photo date currently controls ordering. Verify the behavior against the reported Nextcloud iOS 2.24.1.0 behavior, then ensure photos are ordered by creation date and confirm the Media tab shows the expected chronological order.
