Bridge - Sort by Created changes with rating

I ocassionally shoot events with two cameras. (Nikon D800+850) - often in burst/continuous shooting if there's lots of movement.
I've changed the filename prefix on both so they're different and synchronised the Date-Time on both cameras.

When doing a selection in Bridge I wasnt to view images in Chronological order - so Sort By Date Created.
This seems to work Ok initially.
BUT if I give one a star rating it will quite often jump forwards in the order.
What I think is happening is if there are a number of images taken withn the same hh:mm:ss time, say 5 images, and I give the first one a star rating - it will jump position from the first of these 5 to the last.
So if I want to rate the other 4 - I have to keep an eye to see if this happens and back-track.

Can be rather annoying.

PS Using Bridge CC 2022 version 12.04. on WIndows 10 PC
I have Bridge 2023 13.0.3 - but avoid using it on this PC as it's very slow to open/hangs.

Correct answer DafOwen

Found a dirty hack work around : Give everything in the folder a rating (e.g. 1*) then remove it (set to 0*)
Not sure if it maintains correct chronological order, seems to, but it stops the horrible shuffling of positions / need to back-track.

I'll take any hack if it gives a satisfactory result. 

 

Sorry I was not able to help you beyond this support. I have a Canon camera, and I'm on a Mac so I can neither test nor verify your work.
