Is there a way to sort the Album by last image upload?

I'm planning to sort Albums by last updated and display the time of the album name is last updated.

I looked at the database and I have not found any column with the name "last updated"

Is it still possible to do it that way?

It is currently not possible to sort albums by latest updated. There is only a image-albums-statistics-plugin function to display that.

The fiolemtime field will reflect the last update of an image/album. Of course, your OS must update the album filemtime for this to be useful.

You can set an option to have the album date reflect the date of the latest image uploaded. However, it will reflect the image data, not its filemtime if there is an EXIF/IPTC date in the image.
