Ok guys I think most of us agree the photos app has become almost unusable since iOS18. Well try the below and see if this helps you. In theory it should make it back to how it was before with the latest photos at the top.
Click on photos. Click customise and reorder. Then swipe through all the options. Deselect every one except for media types and utilities. Then hit close. Should be sorted.

Hi Lee,
Unfortunately it didn't work for me. My photos are exactly the same, with the oldest at the top. I tried sorting by recently added and date captured but nothing worked. I tried opening and closing the photos app in the app switcher and then reopening it again but still the same. Thanks for the info though. It was worth a try.
