P: Lightroom (iOS): Sort order is ignored after filtering by Camera

When using iOS (iPhone), I want to only look at photos on a single camera body (I shoot with 2 different cameras).  When selecting the body I want through the “Filter by…Camera”, the order of images disregards any of the options for how to sort them (such as file name, capture time, etc).  The images appear jumbled and out of order.  When attempting to try three different “sort by” options and even “reverse order”, it was the same order of images in their mixed up order.  See the attached video. Screen recording unusual sort and filter behavior on mobile (ios) The attached photo shows the current version being used with all iOS updates installed as of this post.

    Hi @smb29910,

    Thanks for reporting this and for including the screen recording. The behavior you're showing matches an issue we're already tracking, in which applying a Camera filter can cause the selected sort order and direction to be no longer honored.

    I've added your report to our existing investigation. The team is investigating, so there's no additional troubleshooting needed from you at this point.

    One detail from your report is particularly useful: you've confirmed that this isn't limited to Capture Time sorting, you're also seeing the same behavior with File Name and when reversing the sort direction. I've included that information in the report as well.

    We'll update the thread when we have more information to share.

    Best,
    Anshul Saini
