The photos in my mobile app are all over the place, and I am not sure how to organize them.
Thought I would give Dropbox a try; so far, I am very frustrated in trying to get my photos to display in the order that I want them to. I have two folders, but for this conversation I will concentr...

Thank you for getting back to me.
A screen shot from my phone would not display what is happening. It would simply show the month/year and the photos for that period. It would not capture all the different months/years which, for one of the folders I uploaded are, August 2024, July 2024, January 2024, October 2023, January 2023, July 2021, and June 2021. Other photos from another folder that I uploaded are interspersed in between these photos.
All the photos from a specific folder that I uploaded from my computer were all done at the same time. I tried deleting the photos from Dropbox and modifying them using Photoshop and then uploading them again to Dropbox; uploading all photos in a specific folder at the same time. After doing this, nothing changed when viewing the photos using the Photo tab.
The issue is with viewing photos on my phone using the Photo tab. I am okay with what I see when I view the photos/folders on my computer. The question remains: How do I change the months/years (as they appear in Dropbox) so that all my photos are grouped together when viewing them in the Photo tab?
Thank you.

Hi @robertvitek, the Photos tab shows the photos in the date the image was created, and not the modification date. When you edit an image, the creation date isn't modified.
If you're able to within the editing program, you choose to edit the creation date of the file.
