Getting imported photos in Chronological order

I have imported 3000 photos from my DSLR to my IPad Pro they were all taken on the same day but are all mixed randomly on iPad, I don’t have the time or patience to manually organise, how do I get them in Chronological order? Please help

Perhaps to minimize efforts already attempted, you may

list by what means you've tried to organize these images.

In previous usage, find (in Mac) all items are in a folder; I select All and

choose to set an order method, using options in sidebar or finder menu.


I've not used an iPhone nor an iPad to choose to re-order; in previous

digital image handling methods, I've edited them in macOS / OSX.


So if you've attempted to change item order in a folder, top-down, this

method should work; try & arrange to preferred type of order. Options

may include by Size, by Type, or by Name; their order might be correct.
