iMovie - How do you sort project-based media?

iMovie version 10.1.12

I have imported into a *project* media from a Samsung S10e, which labels all media (whether MP4 or JPG) with a name that includes full date/time stamping. I am trying to get iMovie to sort *all* media based on the filename, but it will not do so.

No matter what sort options I select under "view" it places the video in the uppermost portion of the list and still shots below. Only the still shots seem to be affected by the sorting.

Anybody know of a way to get ALL to be sorted by actual media filename?

Disregard! I figured it out. If you click the project name it has it's own sort-by options and selecting name at that level did what I want.
