Research direction

The payload names no source files or tests, so start by finding where ImmichFrame loads album assets for slideshow playback and where the Memories ordering the linked pulls page mentions is handled. Check whether album photos are currently fetched in an arbitrary order and what the capture-date field is called in the Immich data. Done means that after a reload, an album-based slideshow starts from the beginning and plays in capture-date order. Ask the maintainers whether they want a setting or a fixed order before writing code.

Description

Currently, photos from selected albums are not consistently displayed in chronological order. It would be very useful to have an option to sort and play images by their capture date when using album-based playback.

I found this related pull request, which seems to address ordering for Memories only:

Use Case

I use ImmichFrame on a tv and would like to create a slideshow experience for specific trips or events.

Example:

I select an album from a vacation or business trip
When the page/frame reloads, playback should start from the beginning
Photos should then be displayed sequentially in chronological order

This would make it much easier to present a coherent “story” or timeline to colleagues, friends, or family.
