Capture time

FirstName LastName
How do I sort by capture time? Sorting by date gives me the wrong time/date for some of my photos. Capture time is correct in finder and in photo mechanic however. Not sure what date capture 1 is displaying or how to change what date is displayed.

    Capture One's sorting by date should put the images in capture time order. Have you changed the date or time using some other app, such as Exif Editor? I have sometimes used that for instance when I have forgotten to turn daylight saving time on or off in the camera. I found that the Exif information actually stores more than one date and time, and to get Capture One to sort by the corrected date and time I had to be sure to change the right one. (Which that is, I can't remember, so changing all the instances is best.) Here are three dates and times shown in Exif Editor. (All the same in this instance.)

    Thanks for the info.  I think I figured out the problem.  Some of my jpegs shared file names with raws, but weren't the same photo.  Default preference in C1 is to prefer sidecar XMP over embedded metadata.  I unchecked this box and reloaded metadata for the jpegs and the dates are now correct.  Not sure if I should have this box checked or unchecked going forward.  I may have changed some capture times in the past using Lightroom and am not sure where that data was saved.  Also now I need to figure out how to rename all my photos so this won't happen again!  Unfortunately batch renaming does not seem to be an option in Capture One express, so I think I'll have to upgrade...
