<p>Interesting Marc. Yes I've noticed all the files affected are
whatsapp images, png or any other somewhat tampered images. Not
direct shots from a camera. Anyway, mine shows an earlier correct
creation date. Yours don't?<br>

<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

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

<p>In your case, the only way would be to manually edit the

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

<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).
