Photo gallery was all mixed up after transfer from S8

[Deanne1407]

Has anyone else had this problem? On my S8, my photos were in proper chronological order but when my son used that smart-switch app to transfer everything to my new S20, all of my photos were out of order. How do I get them back to date order? Please help!!

Had the same problem from s7 to s20 ultra, I'd like to know the answer to this

Had the same issue today, did you get to the bottom of this?

Hi, @Deanne1407. It's important that you get this resolved, as you've certainly been waiting a while!

I recommend opening up the Gallery app, opening the album(s) in question > tap the 3-dot menu on the top-right > Sort > This will load up the Sort by menu and you can choose how you wish to date-order your photos.

I'd also recommend having a look at the thread below:

Please let me know if this helps.
