Photo Viewer for Android 13 Mobile Phone

Belenus

Oppo A76 ColorOS Android 13 mobile phone.

Can you recommend a free or low cost photo viewer that will list folders alphabetically and doesn't come with loads of ads?

I have about 10,000 photos in 150 folders totalling 16gb. Is that too many for the phone to handle?

The phone came with Photos installed. Unless I am not using it properly that does not allow me to look at an alphabetical list of folders.

I have also installed Gallery which is ad infested and also does not appear to list folders alphabetically.

What other apps might suit me?

Thanks

Doesn't photos have an option to list them by name which sorts them alphabetically?

Just checked and Google photos doesn't have that option either... unless I'm missing something!

A file browser will allow you to sort them alphabetically and you van switch to different size tiles so you can still see a preview of your photos

You're probably already doing this but you are backing up these photos?

Photos doesn't have the option to sort by filename for reasons only known to Google, so if you want it you have to bodge it, which is fine until you download the album:

Easiest solution is probably connect the phone to a computer, browser through Windows Explorer/Finder/whatever the Mac equivalent is, and then you can sort the view by filename without actually altering anything else.

In Google photos go to 'Library; Next to 'Albums' you will see something that probably says 'Most recent photo' Tap this....You will then be given the choice to sort by 'Album Title'

What file browser do you suggest. I have tried using My Files but that does not appear to have a list alphabetically option.

I have comprehensive backups of all my files, including my photos. I have everything on my laptop and at least five other full copies of all my files on various backup media.

Neil, thanks for your suggestions, I will try those later.

RumRat, thanks but I can't see a Most recent photo option or anything similar.

     Should be there, whatever it says....

Using my files if you go to the folder where the photos are stored, near the top right you should see "date" next to an arrow pointing up or down, click that and four options will appear one is "name" click that and it will be sorted alphabetically for you ascending or descending depending on which way the arrow is pointing

That's not what the OP wants, that just sorts the album titles, not the inidividual photos.

They want (as I understand it) to sort the photos by filename (or whatever filename Android/camera/app has given them), which is not an option in Google Photos.

He said he wanted to sort the Folders.....Nothing about individual photo's??
