👍[v51] Gallery sorting bug [Fixed]

[Kadet]

The bug only appears in the Gallery. The group yearly and sort by modification date setting shows all photos in the year 2026. The daily setting shows only a few days, and at some point there are all the rest of the photos.

I'm not able to reproduce, 'EXIF date created' is used and when not possible the 'file date created'

I have a very new phone, and all my images copied from my old phone have a Creation date from date copying these files. This is why it is better to use DateTimeOrginal or DateTimeDigitized if exist.
However, I wrote about the "Modifed date", which has the original dates in the photo descriptions. And that's exactly what doesn't work at Gallery. And it worked in the older version.

Sorry but i don't understand, sort by modification date is only used to sort files in the group. If you use group by Year, 'EXIF date created' is used

Okay, you did that, but it doesn't make sense. If I want to sort by Modification date, this is the date that should be used. After all, you display this date in Photo detail, so you have access to it. Just a slight change in the code is enough for the sorting to work according to logic.
And as I wrote, after copying the files, Creative date is the wrong parameter for using sorting by Creative date.

If I notice it, future users will notice it too and will be as surprised as I am.

sorry but i'm wrong. When using sort by 'Date taken', 'EXIF DateTimeOriginal' is used.
And you would like to sort by 'Date created'?

Sorry by modification date. Is it better in v55? If not please send me screenshots by adding all dates in labels (file+exif)
