Question Sorting photos by date

[jestemprawiczkiem]

When I open a folder with thousands of photos in the system explorer and want these photos to be sorted by date, I have to wait a very few minutes. Especially when the disk is a platter disk. The file names are mixed up because the camera numbers the photos from one every now and then and there are photos from different cameras that start numbering photos from numbers and others from letters, so I can't use file names. Would it be possible after a long automatic sorting by date of these photos for the indexing service to remember how these photos are sorted so that after restarting the system, after opening the folder, these photos are sorted. Is it possible to set the system so that it creates a thumbs.db file or another file in this folder so that it reads from this file how the photos are to be arranged? I use 64-bit Windows 10 Pro 22H2.

There are other file explorer options outside of Windows explorer. Not sure if they are any better at handling large amounts of files.

There may also be image specific tools that may do a better job.

But yeah, the concept of Windows and thousands of files has never been a good experience. Even small folders of videos can give Windows a struggle to create thumbnails.
