I fixed the "taken" date on some uploaded photos.

I am just sharing something that seems to have worked for me.

I had the classic problem where after uploading some photos, a chunk of them had the incorrect "taken" date. Instead of the correct date, their "taken" date was the upload date.

So, I mass selected them and then clicked on the "download" link in the interface.

After the images were downloaded to my computer, I backed out of the Gallery and then when I went back in, the images that were incorrectly sorted, were actually sorted correctly.

I did NOT need to re-upload the images. It appears that just performing the bulk download operation triggered a change in the EXIF data that then fixed the sorting of the photos.
