<p>I checked the thumbnail you sent me in my digikam. It does not
have any kind of metadata inside, this is why Digikam is using the
last modification date as creation date. See how in digikam, in
the properties tab it doesn't show anything about the photography
information.<br>

<p>As a comparision, this is how it looks when it has some metadata
inside:</p>
<p><img moz-do-not-send="false" src="cid:part2.C90C5D9B.874B5421@hotmail.com" alt="exifmetadata" width="712" height="640"></p>
<p>In your case, the only way would be to manually edit the metadata
(using the metadata editor or the date and time tool) and enter
the EXIF Original time and date.</p>
<p>I hope I've helped.</p>

<p>Thank you. I checked it. See this example. Took in 2013 but
"created" last 30/12/2021 with many others, whatever the reason.
It seems it checks file creation first in this case.<br>

<p>Thank you Marc. But I need to sort by capture date,
not file creation date. I would manually change it
but there are too many elements affected.</p>
<p>Anyway, I think digiKam should look the Exif data,
not the file properties. Nice if they could change
that. Ruins the whole thing for me! I hope there’s a
work around.</p>
<p>Thank you again.</p>

<div dir="auto">You have to select to sort items by
creation date in the top menu. If they still appear
last in the list, that means that they do not have
metadata inside (or it was overwritten somehow). You
can manually enter the date in Exif's "Original date
and time" field (either in the metadata editor or in
the date tool).

<p dir="ltr">Hi! I recently had to resync my
photo collection to a new computer. For <br>
some reason a large number of elements had
their -file- creation date <br>
acordingly changed and, to my surprise, now
digiKam list this old pics <br>
like recent. Can't I sort them by capture
date, as noted in Exif data? I <br>
always expected it to work this way! <br>

Thank you so much. <br>
