You can select a photo, go to Image, Adjust Date and Time. Now if you need to adjust the date on a photo you can. So you can't sort by titles or anything like that but you can kind of create your own order if you plan on doing a slide show or you want some special photos available on your iPhone say or Apple Watch, you can sort them the way you want.

It will remember this even if I say Sorted By Date and then I turn off Sorted By Date it goes back to my manual sorting. If I uncheck that now you can see it goes to a manually sorted order and I can drag and drop as much as I want and this will be the order they appear in. They will be sorted from the earliest to the latest. I go to View and I've selected Keep Sorted By Date. So I've created an album here called test album. Now Photos doesn't really have that many sorting options but you can manually sort an Album. I can also, of course, select one here and hit Recover and it will undelete it and put it back where it came from. So I've pushed it forward instead of waiting that many days. Now it gives me a warning and now it is gone for good. If I want something to go away now, permanently, I can select it here in the recently deleted view and I can hit Delete One Item. I've got some older ones here that will be deleted pretty soon. So the one I've just deleted here in thirty days it will be permanently gone and I don't have to do anything else. It tells me how many days are left before they are permanently deleted. You can see that I've got several in here spanning some time. It brings up kind of a special album here which shows you recently deleted photos. You can view it by going to File, Show Recently Deleted. It is going to sync to all your different devices so it wouldn't be right to put it in your local trashcan. You are not using your Mac's trashcan because it is now using iCloud. I'm going to hit the delete key on my keyboard and delete and you can see because it is syncing with iCloud that it says it is deleted from all devices. Now what happens when you delete a photo? Say I'm going to select this photo here. So it is very easy to see and edit titles in Photo. If I want to add a title I simply click right underneath it where it says untitled and I can add it or I can edit the one that is there. I can turn off with the keyboard shortcut titles and you can see how it goes away. Then you can see titles for different things. There is even a keyboard shortcut for that. If you go down into Moments where you can see individual photos, or even jump to an Album where you see them in a similar view, you can see the titles by going to View, Metadata, and turn on Titles. Now a lot of people mistakingly thought that Photos doesn't have titles for photos like iPhoto did. So it makes it very easy to find a photo even though you might be viewing tons of them and jump right to it. Now the top two levels, Collections and Years, you can click and hold over a strip of photos and you will see an enlarged version of that photo and can easily find the one you want, release, and it will jump right to that photo. You can go down into Collections and then Moments. When viewing photos, your entire photo library, the top level is Years. You can drag and drop a photo very easily here with the sidebar turned on. You can quickly and easily jump to Albums, jump to Photos, and see other things as well as drag and drop. You've got a sidebar that looks a lot like iPhoto.
