Comment 4 for bug 1381583

This fix only applies for pictures that come in through content hub. Like
photos you download from the web or attachments that are received in an
email. These photos you typically have no idea when they were created, nor
do you usually care. In the previous impl before this fix these photos get
placed "somewhere" in your event view based on the photo creation date and
the user has no way to find them. The longer term plan might be to put
these photos in a Downloads album or similar but we don't have a design for
that currently.

Photos copied via mtp or viewed from SD card remain sorted by creation
date.
