    • Select all the photos that have the wrong year.
    • Press Ctrl+J (for Windows).  This will bring up the Adjust Date and Time dialog
    • Choose the option to Shift to new starting date and time and click OK.  This will bring up another dialog.
    • Click in the year box and type the correct year for the photos.  (Do not change anything else.)
    • Click OK.

     

    The files should now all be changed to the correct year and will move into the correct chronological order if you are in Newest or Oldest view.

     

    You haven't told us which version of Elements you are using.  The following screenshots are from Elements 2024, but earlier versions should have something similar.

     

    BTW, I have photos that my catalog says were taken on 1/1/1601.  😁
