 * Hello,
   since last version(s) the ‘sort by time’ option doesn’t work properly.
   Photos in my gallery got sorted quite randomly.
 * Any change you would have a look and possibly fix this issue?

 * Hi, are you using any program to post-process your photos? If so, these programs
   tend to overwrite the timestamps in the photos 🙁

 * Hi, no post-processing used. We use shared G-drive folder to upload photos from
   different smartphones. But photos got mixed even from a single source. Worked
   flawlesly some time ago 🙁

 * Ok, can you please open the photos in your photo viewer and check its metadata?
   You should see a “Created on” date. If these dates are incorrect, then there’s
   nothing the plugin can do… If you think the dates are correct but the plugin 
   still displays them in the wrong order, please send some sample photos to me 
   at [developer@dedic.eu](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sorting-by-timestamp/developer@dedic.eu?output_format=md).

 * Metadata seems to be correct, samples sent via email. Many thanks!:)

 * I’m having the same problem – and it has been occurring for over a year now. 
   My image metadata shows a range from 2020 to 2023 (both in the modified and created
   dates), yet whether I set the order to ascending or descending, my gallery shows
   the oldest ones first. Changing the time ordering doesn’t affect the gallery.
   If I switch to ‘sort by name’ I immediately see that change. So it’s just the
   time stamp issue.

 * Thank you everybody, version 2.13.9 should be released shortly with a fix 🙂
