Windows 10: Photo App ignoring Date Taken of pictures

I file my Pictures in folders for Year. Within the Year, pictures are filed by Date Taken.

When I open the Photo App, the pictures are listed by Year, but not in Date Taken sequence.

Win 10 up to date

Photos taken on today's date in the Photo App?

Hi Ryan,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



With Windows 10 Photos app, you can browse your collection by date, album, or folder. Or search to find a specific person, place, or thing. When you open the Windows Photos app, the app fetches your photos and shows them as large thumbnails sorted
by the date they were taken.



The Collection section of the app shows the pictures sorted by the date taken. There are 3 boxes at the top right corner under Collections. Select the third box, scroll down to today’s date in previous year to see the pics which were taken or downloaded
on today’s date in previous year.

Hope it helps.

Why download dates showing for pictures taken years ago? See more details section.

Transfer the files to a PC and Look at "Date Created", "Date Modified", "Date Taken"

In your pictures folder, Right Click > Point to Sort By > Select More

Here you will find a list of Details. Select which Details you wish to view when viewing Photos

 

How to organize photos by Date Taken AND Date Modified

Hi.

I have over 2000 photos on a jump drive that I have imported over the past 5 years. I'm trying to organize them by chronological order with "Date Modified" but there was a glitch and about 200 photos all have the same date when they were taken in a span
of 4 months. I tried organizing them by "Date Taken" but screenshot photos don't have a "Date Taken" timestamp. Is there a way I can organize photos by "Date Taken" AND organize photos by "Date Modified" (if they don't have "Date Taken.")

Any other suggestions or third party programs that converts the "Date Taken" TO "Date Modified"????

Let me know if this isn't clear!

Thanks.

Rachel
