Windows 10: Windows 10 File Manager or Photo Viewer Possible Bug

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 Manager, I insert the Date Taken column in the column list and sort by that.


So looking at the files in File Manager 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 Files Manager 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 Manager. 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 Manager, or the translation from Android? It used to be that the Photos application would display in whatever order the file manager organized them. Now it does not.


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


Thanks.

I have downloaded this, and it did not work; photo viewer is not in the list of programs in Open With or Default App. I used option 2 step 3, followed by step 5 to 9.
