I want to use a shared album to combine photos taken on different cameras and by different people. I would like the photos to be sorted by the date/time they were shot. Instead, Apple is sorting by upload date, which is almost useless. (That would be a photo-stream and is a very different use case.)
Is there any way to have photos in a shared album sort by the photo date instead of the upload date? Is this really not an option in Apple's photo sharing scheme? The only way I can think of to achieve what I want is either to switch to some other technology, like Picasa, or to download all the photos to Photos on a laptop and then upload the sorted photos to the shared album. That seems ridiculous in 2015.
As a follow-up, what is the best way to deliver feedback to Apple? The "Provide Feedback…" option that used to be there in iPhoto is missing.

There is not really a way to sort a shared album by date taken. I don't think that will be a feature because Apple is trying to make it like Instagram where the posts pop up in the order they were shared and not the date they were taken.
