Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I can not chose how photos are sorted in album-view. Seems to be either modified-time or alphabetical backwards.

I have all my files named in a way so that alphabetical/numerical sorting is the correct order. (that is: Image123 or YYYY-MM-DD, both result in the same chronological order)

Describe the solution you'd like
dropdowns like in file-view to adjust the sorting, and/or an option to set a default.

Describe alternatives you've considered
None. Sorting alphabetically should be available. Touching the timestamps of all files is not a viable alternative.

thanks in advance

Research direction

Start by locating the album and folders views and comparing their current ordering with the sorting controls in file view. Add available alphabetical or numerical sorting and, if feasible, a default choice; done means users can select the order and see it applied consistently.
