Problem with creating photo albums on Galaxy device (storage locations)

So I have my phone (Galaxy S10) set up to store photos on the SD card.
I got part way through creating various albums & moving photos to them before stopping & not finishing the job.
I've since picked up a Galaxy S20 with view to sell the Galaxy S10 to one of these online companies.
I had a look about setting the new phone up & was directed towards Samsung Smart Switch. Bit of Googling about it & it looked superb. Bit too good to be true so carried on reading to find that transferring the photos doesn't seem to go too well - it puts them in a jumbled order rather than date order.
No problem I thought - everything is on the SD card. Let me plug it in & check.
Do this to find that when I'm transferring photos to the albums, they're on the internal storage.
So how, when you're creating albums, can you create them on the SD card so that when you move photos to these folders (on the phone), everything stays on the SD card?
Or is the only way to do this is on a desktop PC? Creating folders on the card & dragging & dropping photos? Would that even work?
