    Megan I am Cathy22 the OP. I have been in transit to India since Monday and can’t sign into my account. Apparently I now have a new account?! In any case I desperately need to be able to sort by date, oldest first. Similar as to how photos are stored on my phone or memory cards.

Hoping you will have a solution soon. Thanks!
