Sorting Photos in iPhone

So if I am understanding this correctly, you cannot sort your photo library, only albums. If I want to sort all my photos by date, I would have to select them all and dump them into a Misc. Album and then I could sort them all by date taken. Then, I could move any photo to a more descriptive album later on. Seems like Apple needs to get on the ball here and add a simple sorting to the main library😡!

iPhone 11, iOS 15

It’s a joke. There’s no way to sort photos THAT YOU TAKE WITH YOUR IPHONE….Meaning, I can’t even organize all of my photos into folders/albums, because i don’t know what’s in an album and what isn’t! And I have zero interest in putting these photos onto my MacBook (which seems like the only workaround to create some sort of an advanced folder tag of “non-album” photos). Seriously, it’s embarrassing on two fronts - 1) not having the ability to simply filter photos with the device you take them with is literally mind boggling and 2) it’s like Apple wants you to only be able to do this using a MacBook that a) you need to pay extra for and b) better have a large drive to hold all of these photos…because Apple loves to double count GB of the same data on each device. Seriously, for the amount of money we pay for Apple devices they are so incredibly shady.
