While Google Photos may still claim to rule the roost in terms of versatility and intelligence, Apple Photos has slowly but steadily covered a lot of ground. Apart from adding some notable privacy-centric features like the ability to limit third-party app access, the app has also introduced several neat features such as filters and a better way to hide the hidden album. Another cool addition worth mentioning is Sorting. As the name itself suggests, it allows you to sort images and videos in the Photos app in iOS 14 on your iPhone and iPad. If you think that your photo library deserves a better organization, let’s give it a shot!

The newly introduced sorting feature lets you organize images three ways: Newest to oldest, Oldest to newest, and Custom order. Depending on in which order you want your memories to appear, you can choose the desired order.

  1. Up next, select Sort on the menu.

If you ever want to change the sorting order of your photos, return to this same menu by following the steps mentioned above and then select the preferred option in the end.

So, that’s the way the all-new sorting feature works in the Photos app. It can play a vital role in keeping your shots in the right order. Whether you prefer to keep your images perfectly organized or want to make exploring a tad easier, it will have a role to play.
