photo copy not working the same

In my Photo album, it used to be that when I chose COPY for a photo, it placed the photo at the end of the line near the most recent photo. This way, I could move a photo that was 2 weeks old (for example) to today. Now it doesn't do anything. Duplicate puts the new photo right next to the old one, so it's still buried 50 photos behind today. Is this part of the most recent update?

I think that just depends on the way you sort your Library, right? I mean if you sort your Library by Date Captured,

then it makes sense for the picture to appear with others captured on that date, like the duplicate. But if you sort by Date Added, then the new duplicate would go to the end with the other recent pictures. How are you sorting your Library? Does this work OK for you when you sort by Date Added?
