i am using the latest update of lightroom and my device is Tecno spark 6 go and it's version 10. my problem is it's so hard to import photos. they show the old saved photos at the top instead of the new ones like on this video (i click the twitter folder as an example) when i click the twitter folder, the pictures at the top is the old saved photos (like i've saved those photos ages ago) so i needed to scroll down and down until the end to find the new saved photos. so i'm having a hard time importing the pictures bcs i still needed to scroll and scroll and scroll to find it. i also check the settings but there's none.

Please verify the version of Lr; if version 10 as I suspect from your post. This is actually Lightroom Classic and the post was moved to the wrong forum.

In the Library Module of Classic, With a quick search of the net, I found these directions:

Which match my memory of how I used to do it. (I switched from Classic to Lr cloud based)

I assume that's an Android device. In which case, tap on All Photos in the Library, then tap the vertical three-dot icon at the top right of the screen. Tap on "Sort By xxxxxx", choose either Capture Date, Import Date or Modified Date, and then set the direction (arrow pointing down will list newest at the top, oldest at the bottom).
