Hi guys,

Setting my new Note 8 up all ready so that I can switch my sim from my iPhone X but gotta few things I can't quite work out..

I have been using Apple Photos for ages. I have Google Photos Backup for my Mac and I just fired it up for the first time yesterday in a while. It's uploaded about 1200 pics I took since I last used it in October.

But they're all over the place. Google Photos shows me them in the date order of them being added to Google Photos but there's random ones from November mixed in with Febs and then a bunch from early December in with late Jan etc.. Nothing seems right.

And it's driving my OCD mad!

Is there an elegant way to sort this out. Even if I search for a date or a location, they don't all show up in the correct place or order,

Thanks:-*

Is it possible that some of the photos that were grouped in a later month were edited by some photo editing program around that time? So for example, maybe you edited a November photo some time in February, then saved it to your Mac. That might have changed the date of the photo to February, and was therefore uploaded to Google Photos for that month.
