Date taken sort order is ignored

[mrspiderbrain]

Applying the "date taken" sort order actually applies "last modified" order.

I also have a problem with sorting according to "Date taken". But it is not sorting according to "last modified" either. In fact I can't find any system to how it is sorting. When I load the same folder in F-Stop gallery the exact same files get sorted in the correct order.
I've tried deleting both app cache and data.
This is really annoying as the dates associated with the files have changed and do not represent a correct chronology.
Other than that, it is a really nice app!

Same here on Google Pixel 9a on Android 15
Gallery Version: 6.28.1 Pro

The weird thing is that both dates ("last modified" and "taken") is showing correct.

THanks. Found it already. And I also found the solution to the problem: FossifyOrg/Gallery#88 (comment)
tl;dr: just mark the photos with the wrong sort order and choose "Fix Date Taken value". This solves the problem.
