Same problem for me. After upgrade to 130 the display order is not recognized anymore. The new UI is super nice, so I hope that this tiny bug can be fixed soon :)
It also appears in the web view for externally shared albums.

@FideliusFalcon Have you tried clicking on the button again? it would resort the order

[frederikb96]

I realized that for some albums the sorting works, but for some it doesn't. I will check if I can see why it is working for some but not the others.

[FideliusFalcon]

@FideliusFalcon Have you tried clicking on the button again? it would resort the order

Yes I have tried many times

[alextran1502]

I can't reproduce it. Do you mind create a video capture to show how you use the feature?

Yes sure, I made two videos.
First video is about the problem the sorting is not happening .

Second video is about a strange bug that only a few pictures are sorted out of order.

[alextran1502]

Ohh, within the album, I was checking at the album page

[frederikb96]

@alextran1502 Thanks for the swift fix, but sadly the issue still persists for me on 130.1.

Maybe this sample album helps debugging the issue with some images which are sorted in some strangely wrong order:

The sort on specific days is now correct, but it is still sorting days from newest.

See screenshot, with sort by oldest first

[alextran1502]

@FideliusFalcon do you mind send me those assets? They are handy for testing

[FideliusFalcon]

@alextran1502
Sure but you need to modify the date of one of the assets yourself to see the issue.

@alextran1502 I can validate that it's now fixed with version v1.130.2
Thanks for the great work!

[alextran1502]

Thanks!
