Photo Gallery and sorting not working

[rouu]

My recents album is messy and out of order. There's no sorting option unlike the custom albums. Is there a way for it to be in order again?

The RECENTS is not really an album it's just a collection of your most recent photos put together in one place. That's why there's no sorting option because it's not really an album.

Your recents "album", as stated, is not an album. It just shows you your most recently opened or added photos. It's usually arranged in the order they were accessed or added. It's meant for you to easily access your most recent photos wothout having to search or remember what album you moved them to. You can hide this album if you find it confusing.

The thing is, it won't really let me hide it. It's also the default album that appears on apps. Since it's disorganized it's just making things a bit more difficult. Is there a way for me to reorder it?

You cannot reorder it because it's not a real album. You can hide it from your gallery home by going to the menu and selectng "essential albums". These are the albums that will be in view when you open your gallery. You can select everything (or only the ones you want in view) except the "recents" as essential. Then you will only see recents if you select "view all". So this effectively hides the album. I have 4 albums in view. The rest are not essential. As you can see, the recents does not appear.
