Hi all

I've just gone into my gallery to send a photo and all my recent photos/videos are not showing in the correct order in my recent folder. 

When I go into the folder it is showing old photos first from a long time a go and not my actual recent photos.

There doesn't seem to be a way to put the photos in order.

Anyone one else having this issue or know how to resolve it ?

Thanks

Hi,
Try Below

To arrange photos in a specific order on a Samsung phone, you can utilize the built-in Gallery app's sorting and album features. You can sort photos by date (created or modified), name, or customize the order within albums by moving photos. For more advanced organization, consider using a third-party gallery app that offers more granular control over photo order. 

Here's a breakdown of how to organize photos in your Samsung Gallery:

1. Sorting within Albums:

Open the Gallery app and navigate to the desired album.

Tap the three dots (more options) usually located in the top right corner.

Select "Sort" (or "Sort by").

Choose your preferred sorting method: Date created, Date modified, or Name. 

Tap "Done" to apply the sorting. 

2. Moving Photos Within Albums:

In the Gallery app, open the album containing the photos you want to rearrange.

Select the photos you wish to move by tapping and holding on them. A checkmark will appear on the selected photos. 

Tap the three dots (more options) and choose "Move to album". 

Select the album where you want to move the photos. You can create a new album if needed. 

Choose to "Move" or "Copy" the photos. 

3. Creating and Managing Albums:

In the Gallery app, tap the "Albums" tab.

Tap the "+" icon (usually in the top right corner) to create a new album. 

Give the album a name and select the photos or videos you want to include. 

You can also create "auto-updating albums" that automatically add photos based on certain criteria. 

4. Using Third-Party Gallery Apps:

If you need more advanced organization features, consider using a third-party gallery app from the Google Play Store. 

Some apps allow you to manually rearrange photos within albums by dragging and dropping them into your desired order. 

Look for apps with features like custom sorting options, batch editing, and more. 

By using these methods, you can effectively organize your photos on your Samsung phone and keep them in the order that best suits your needs.

Hi. Thanks for your message.
I know how to sort folders and albums but it's the recent folder which is causing me issues.
The recent folders is not showing my recent photos or videos. The order of the folder is all wrong and I don't know why

I'm having the same exact issue with my Galaxy fold 4 now. There's like 10,000 photos in my recent now and photos from 2 years ago at the top so I can't find any of my actual recent photos... I had to download a different gallery. But doesn't always help when most times uploads default to your built in gallery.  It's just a mess
