Albums: Add extended search form with sorting options #353
Description
Activity
Albums are sorted by name or year / month currently (latest at the top). In addition, you can filter by category. If you mark an album as favorite (click the star icon), it will be shown first as well.

on Jun 12, 2020 Yeah, feels like Albums, Moments, Calendar, Folders, Library/Originals could potentially support sorting by: name, "date" (although, how is this defined... earliest or latest photo in the 'collection' from EXIF data, file dates?). And being able to choose between ascending or descending sort would be great.

Ah, this is why I thought the default sorting was chronological, because our albums are named "YYYY-MM-DD Event"

How do you choose between the 2 sort methods ? I have the felling that only by name is possible.
Thanks.It's not possible to change the sort order of the album overview as this issue is not implemented yet. Albums are currently sorted by name. In the calendar section the month-albums are sorted by newest first.

That's amazing @lastzero, thanks! May I ask what's defined as an album's "year"? If I'll create an album from last weekend of photos both from 2022-12-31 and from 2023-01-01, what will be the album's year?
What the year filter finds depends on the album type:
- For manually managed albums, it finds albums that contain at least one picture from that year.
- The year of the most recent picture in a folder is automatically detected and cached in the background.
- Some moments combine month and year with a location as a dynamic search filter.
- For calendar months, it is obvious.
- States can currently not be filtered by year as it is undefined.

We've several dozen albums on our photoprism instance. The current album list page renders albums in chronological order. Most of the time when we go to look at an album it is a recent one, which requires tons of scrolling to get it into view.
I'd like to propose a feature that allows one to sort the albums, at least by date, if not also attributes.
