Hello,
I cant seem to find a way to sort my files (images) by when they are taken, i can see in the metadata app the correct date when they are taken/created but in owncloud the date is set to when they are uploaded.
Is there a way to fix this?

Hi Neiluj,
I totally get where you’re coming from—this can be super frustrating! Unfortunately, OwnCloud sorts files based on when they’re uploaded, not when they were created, so it’s not straightforward to organize them by their original creation date.
One suggestion might be to try syncing your files using the desktop client instead of uploading them directly. When you sync, the original timestamps are often preserved, which might solve the issue.
If that doesn’t work, maybe there’s a way to manually organize them on your local system by creation date before uploading. There could also be plugins or scripts out there that can help tweak sorting options—might be worth checking the OwnCloud marketplace or asking around here for ideas.
Hopefully, this helps! I think it would be a great feature to have built in, so maybe suggesting it as a feature request could also make a difference. Let us know if you find a solution!
