Sort collections panel by date?

HELP - Lr Classic

Anyone know if there is a way to sort the collections by date? Instead of alphabetically??

Start the name of each collection with an ISO 8601 format date (yyyy-mm-dd), which will sort alphabetically into date order. If you do this, you must zero pad mm and dd, so 6 April 2022 is 2022-04-06.

There is no way to sort collections by content dates.

This is the way to go. I usually have a collection for the year and then add collections to it by month, eg: 2023 -> 2023-1 January, etc.

Just add "001" to the name. Increment as needed.
