Hey Gareth R.1, sorry to jump in here, but could you clear your browser's cache and try again?

 

Also, have you tried another browser or an incognito window with no extensions or plugins running?

    Hi there Walter

     

    Yes I have tried multiple browsers.  To verify again, I just cleared the cache from both Safari and Firefox (macOS 13.2) and disabled all extensions. Same result, see new screenshots below. Then I opened a new private browsing window in Firefox , same result, see below. Same behavior on ios broswers on both ipad and iphone (16.3). Thanks

      Hey Gareth R.1, jumping in here as well.

       

      Are you seeing this behavior only with the camera uploads folder?

       

      How about with other folders in your account?

        Hi Hannah

        I tried it on one other folder and it was successful using date uploaded, but all the files were the same month uploaded. It failed when trying date created. I am always using date uploaded as the method when attempting to organize the Camera Uploads folder.

         Thanks
