The bug

Some older pictures (or more precisely their days) from an external library are ordered really wonky in my timeline on the web.

Note: I'll use the 07/2011 as an example in this report because that is where I first noticed this, but I can see many other months with same issue in my Immich. It also seems that at least on the web, this occurs in blocks of months - days within month are shuffled, but months are always in the correct order.

See screenshot:
image
The screenshot is from Favorites but the main timeline does the same thing.

Photos should be ordered from new to old, but this particular month has days displayed in order 2, 4, 3, 10, 5, 6, 16. (the 6 is cropped in the screenshot and I just noticed that 3 and 4 actually changed position when I was writing this report)
Clicking next / previous in the photo view also changes to unexpected photos.

More in additional info.

Reproduction steps

1. Open immich
2. Have photos with inconsistent Exif
3. Scroll through the timeline
4. Days are shuffled

Additional information

I tried looking into the database and it seems this is similar to my issue #7178 - the only correct date/time column for the affected photos is localDateTime, which is also the date and time displayed in the UI.
The other fileCreated/Modified dates are from last year. Probably when I imported the library into Digikam and updated some EXIF and XMP tags for etc., it modified the modify date

I checked some photos with Exiftool:
localDateTime in the DB matches both [EXIF] Date/Time Original and [EXIF] Create Date; fileCreatedAt & fileModified match [EXIF] Modify Date

If I use this query in the DB:
SELECT * FROM "assets" WHERE "localDateTime" < '2011-08-01' AND "localDateTime" >= '2011-07-01' AND "isFavorite" = 'True' ORDER BY "fileModifiedAt" DESC
I can see the days in the timeline are in the same order as are the first occurrences of every day in fileModifiedAt column. (I could probably achieve exact order using GROUP BY or something but I'm not good in SQL).

Related to that, if I open a photo and click next/prev arrow, the photos don't actually change in the order of the timeline, but in the order of the query above.

I'll post this as separate issue, but it really seems like it's the same issue as #7178 - Immich displays localDateTime everywhere but uses other date/time columns to actually process, sort etc. photos and these columns are not necessarily correct in my library.

I'm also fairly sure I have a related issue with the Android app. In the main timeline, days are ordered correctly there but are missing more than a half of the photos. In the favorites timeline, there's only one day for the whole month displayed (should be much more as seen on screenshot from web above). This is where I actually noticed there's something wrong in my timeline and it seems the issue occurs in the same months as the weird behaviour on the web.
