Albums missing or moving in iOS 18 photos app

I keep my created albums in alphabetical order, since updating to IOS 18 they do not stay in order even after editing. Anyone else having issues?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

Please, reverse this photos app to the iOS 17. This was one of the worse updates that Apple has ever done. Nobody likes it!

OK, A quick web-search turned up this (and that's the checkbox/switch) I was reffering to earlier but this details the steps....


To force photos TO iCloud FROM your iPhone, You'll need to:


Open the “Settings” app on your phone.

Tap your name at the top of the settings page, and select iCloud.

On the iCloud page, select “Photos” at the top of the list.

Toggle the “iCloud Photo Library” switch to the on position.

Once this is active, your photos will begin to upload to iCloud.


You must also make sure your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi and to Power.


On mine it was turned on so I turned it OFF before I sync'ed with iTunes after making the changes to the photo settings that I mentioned which got my photos on the phone, and then I turned this back on after everything was on the phone and it did not erase them from my phone, it just started sending them to the iCloud in the new folders (which was actually my old folders but now was on my phone).
