The bug

Album sort by newest/oldest asset doesn't respect timestamp of an asset, it uses endDate or startDate attribute of an album which doesn't have the time part. Therefore albums are sorted randomly within a single day.

		"startDate": "2026-01-04T00:00:00.000Z",
		"endDate": "2026-01-04T00:00:00.000Z",

It works well on mobile, because it queries newest/oldest date from the asset. However it is very slow because every album is checked by a separate query.

Albums ordering should be cosolidated to use the same way of sorting.
