On some phones you can change the default storage from internal memory to SD card in the Settings => Storage.

But it depends on the particular app that you are using. Many apps simply use internal storage as default and you can't change it. You'll have to manually move the files to SD card from time to time.

Screenshots is a built-in function so on most of phones the images are saved in DCIM\Screenshots.

On older Android version you can use the SD card for camera app storage, but as phone cameras are more and more powerful, resulting in larger image files, the SD card option has been removed because they are too slow for new generation of camera.

BTW if you want to use your SD card for storage, try to create a folder on he SD card with name DCIM (just like on the internal memory), then put your photos inside this folder, apps usually look for photos and videos in the DCIM folder first.

Unfortunately, once copied or moved the images's date are usually altered, but for most of images (especially those taken with digital cameras) the correct dates are still stored in the EXIF info. A good app would use the EXIF data to sort images automatically, but many apps lack this feature.

You can an app like this to restore the EXIF data of the images so that you can sort them by date.
