[Feature] Group photos by content similarity if they have identical timestamps

I have searched the existing feature requests, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

The feature

Google Photos does this thing where if multiple photos have identical timestamps, it groups them based on similarity in the timeline, like this:

This comes up whenever I:

• Import photos shared on an app that strips timestamp metadata and add it back by hand (Messenger, Line, etc)
• Back up old film photos that don't have timestamps

I think it's very nice and would be cool if Immich did the same thing.

Are you sure it's sorting by similarity, and not by something else such as filename?

Good point, I checked and there are definitely instances where the filenames aren't in order (usually when I import images from Line)
