    Hello Gilly,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum

    I understand you want to sort photos on OneDrive in the order they were taken.

    Where do you want to sort them on? the OneDrive web version or Desktop version?

    If you want to sort photo on the web version, you can refer to this site:

    Sort, rename, or move photos and files in OneDrive

    If you want to sort by date taken in your OneDrive folder on PC, here is how to do it:

    Navigate to Your OneDrive Photos: 

    • Go to your OneDrive folder and open the folder where you store all of your photo.

    Sort by Date Taken:

    • click on the sort icon located above all the photo and select More > Date takenUser's image

    You can also change the sorting order by selecting Ascending or Descending.

    Feel free to reply back to this post if you need further assistance, I'll be happy to help.
