Windows 10: Photos App .. Importing by date/month?

Just opened an updated photos app win 11 and am lost as to why or how to get the pictures sorted by date or month at least. The old one auto sectioned the photos on Import which made it easier when backing up.

:)

 

Photo app import settings, year, month and DATE

Window 7 importer set folder names by year, month and date. Photo app will not, or

How can I change it so that it will use data

 

View Photos by Month

Sorted, You can now only do it through Windows photos app. When you first click on it all your photos come up in date order, if you then click on the date for the latest photos the screen will then list all of the months that you have photos. Thanks for
suggestions and hope this helps anyone with the same problem.

importing photos

Thank you for clearing that out. It looks like you are importing the files using the Photos app. When you import photos using this app, the files get imported into your Pictures library. To view these files, refer to these steps:

• Open File Explorer.
• On the list of folders on the left side of the window, click on Pictures. You shall see the photos imported from the SD card using the Photos app.

Another option you have is to import the files solely using File Explorer. Here's how you can do it:

• Connect the SD card into the computer.
• Launch File Explorer.
• Click on This PC.
• Locate your SD card under Devices and drives.
• Double-click on the SD card.
• Manually choose which photos to move into your local folders. Right-click on each photo and choose
  Copy (Ctrl + C) then go to the destination folder then right-click on an empty space in the window and select
  Paste (Ctrl + V).
• If you are importing all the photos, you can press Ctrl + A on the keyboard to select all of the files. Copy then Paste them into the destination folder.
• If you are importing selective photos, hold the Ctrl key while clicking on the photos you want to copy. This will let you choose a number of photos instead of selecting all of them like what Step 7 suggests.

Once you're able to get the hang of the tricks, importing photos will not be a challenge anymore.
