Improvement: Add ability to sort by CreateDate or ModifyDate
Gabriel Cristian
Hello,
Currently I see the only option to sort the files is by "Date Created" field, which in turn maps to the metadata "Dates" - > "Created".
It would be nice to have the option of sorting the view by "Dates" -> "CreateDate" or "ModifyDate", as those 2 are the real original dates of the photo.
Thank you

I think this is deeper than what I originally described.
Probably this improvement wouldn't even make sense if the real metadata of the photo on macOS is preserved.
To explain further, I see that metadata "Dates" -> "Created" is equal to "Dates" -> "Modified" + 2:00 hours (which I can see under "Dates" -> "ModifyDate").
The existing sorting already covers Date Created and Date Modified but its not behaving as I would expect because those 2 metadata are equal (only timezone differs).
I think Date Modified should be equal to "Dates" -> "CreateDate" or "ModifyDate", because in the macOS logic the DateCreated represents the date the file was created on the system and the DateModified represents the actual date the photo was taken, read from the EXIF metadata.
Sry for the long explanation.
Please let me know if I am missing context because I don't want to waste anyones time :D
