Windows 10: Photos legacy does not display my photos according to the date created on file explorer

So on file explorer, I see that my files are sorted in that date that was created but when I double click on it and try to scroll through with photos legacy, there is a completely order that it scrolls through. I tried to reinstall and reset the app but nothing works. Help please.

Photos not displayed by Taken Date

You missed something.

When I scanned the photos I erroneously identified them as 1968 and filed them in a folder (such as 01-1968) in a folder 1968 in Pictures. When I realized the wrong year, I changed the Taken Date of each photo to 1969, renamed the folder 01-1969 and moved
it to a folder 1969 in Pictures.

File Explorer lists everything correctly., but the Photo app still displays the photos as 1968.

Photos not displayed by Taken Date

I've scanned photos into my laptop and used File Explorer to correct the Taken Date. I file them by Year and some Years have Folders for Month. Some of them have been changed and refiled.

The Photo app doesn't display them by Taken Date.

File Explorer has a Folder for My Photos 1969, but photos moved from My Photos 1968 to My Photos 1969 and Taken Date changed to 1969 still are displayed in 1968.

I'm using Win 10 and it's up to date.

Different views of Photos in Explorer in Windows 10 and Android after sorting by date

I have folders full of photos. Some cameras start the filenames with the date, some with IMG_, some with IMG-, etc.

To get the latest ones sorted at the top of the list in File Explorer, I insert the Date Taken column in the column list and sort by that.

So looking at the files in File Explorer in Details view, I sort by Date Taken. In the list all looks correct.

Then I double-click on the first photo and it opens with the built-in Photos application.

When I look at the photos in a C: drive folder, they appear in order.

When I sort the files with File Explorer by Date Taken on my Android 9 phone, imagine my surprise when the pics have been sorted and displayed by months, even though they are shown in proper date order in File Explorer. So, first the August 2019 photos
appear, then the August 2018, then the August 2017, etc, before the July 2019 pics come up.

Is it the Photos program, or its interaction with the File Explorer, or the translation from Android? It used to be that the Photos application would display in whatever order the File Explorer organized them. Now it does not.

Can this be addressed? Is there a setting in File Explorer or Photos that will change the sorting format?

Thanks.
