Date handling of Elements Organizer is a nightmare

I have no idea which date and time the Organizer uses. Sometimes it’s the file’s creation date, sometimes the modification date, sometimes anything else, maybe taken from the catalog. None of those dates has any relevance for a photo or video apart from the file’s modification date which in some special cases should be selectable for sorting (what was the last thing I worked on?).

My concern is the creation date. For a photo or video clearly the only relevant date is the date and time when the object was shot by the camera. This is contained within the files as EXIF metadata in various forms. The file’s creation date has nothing to do with that since it is continuously changed by intermediate applications (Up/Downloads, Share, Clouds, WhatsApp, Email, etc.) for transport and storage of the objects.  

The EXIF creation date (date/time of exposure) should be the only date and time used by Organizer for Sorting (and - see above - for special cases the modification date).
