SUMMARY
***
The album date is set to date without the time part. This doesn't appear to change even when the oldest/newest buttons are clicked to set the date. This results in albums being sorted alphabetically (by name) even if we choose view -> sort albums -> by date

The expected behavior if there are multiple albums for a date, would be to also use the time if the sort albums by date is chosen

The album date has very little to do with the actual folder date. It is more oriented towards the images included. You can specify whether to use the newest, oldest, or an average date of the items in the album. We will not change this behavior.
But since digiKam-8.0.0 we also have the album modification date/time in the database. So there would be a possibility that we could add the album modification date/time as an additional sorting option.
