Help..No 'Sort by Capture Time?' in Browser??

I've just imported a few thousand images, some directly from SD cards from Olympus OMD EM5 Mark II,a nd some from a LR CC catalog. As I browse the images I kept noticing that images seemed to be 'out of order', that is not arranged by their capture time. On looking more closely I saw that the SORT setting was set to 'Name'...so I clicked the dropdown to switch to Capture Time...but there is no way to sort that way??
There's a 'Date' selection, but that still seems to mix images out of order, which is a brutal if you have many (5)-shot sequences for example at -2/-1/0/+1+2EV of exposure bracketing....but in between them are other shots from that day!???!

What am I missing here? Isn't that the most basic way to sort images for review...by capture TIME?? Hopefully it's just not well0-named as a preset and it does sort by not just DATE but time of capture and sequence (if you shoot 10fps, you're going to have multiple images with 20161125-123527 as your YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS file name.)

  In my experience, sort by Date does put them in time order.

  If you select just the LR images or just the SD card images do they still appear to be mixed up by time within those groups?
  
  Or is the mixing somehow related to mixing the files from different sources?
  
  If the latter it would be interesting to compare the date and time formats recorded for the images in the metadata information.
  
  Also to consider whether what is made visible is in fact the full interpretation of the information held in the file.
