Photos app: folders in different order on Mac vs. iOS devices

Question

I recently migrated to Photos for Mac and iOS. It's great, but I've run into an annoying issue. The order of folders appears differently on Mac and iOS. See screenshots. When I try to correct the order on iOS to match Mac, the Mac folders change order (incorrectly). There's no way for me to get the two in sync. It's a small but annoying issue. See screenshots below.
Has anyone else run into this and have a fix? I've submitted a bug report: 20757942.

Answer 1

Your first screenshot is equivalent to the Years view in Photo on your Mac which is sorted by date descending:
What's in the side bar are albums and are sorted by Name ascending.
Moments in Photos are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N.  Name it as desired.  It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Albums/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
