In the all photos view, you can't do that.


I wanted to when I first started using Photos, but since have just got used to it the way it is. It actually makes no difference to the way you use the app.


Alternatively you can create a smart album with a condition that selects all photos, such as the one below, then sort that as you like, and use it as your main view.
