Viewing photos in date/time order?

Question

I am trying to organise and view my photos in chronological order in Aperture (& iPhoto).
I have a mixture of GMT, GMT+1 and GMT+4 photos and the view set to "Date" (rather than Version Name or File Name, for example).
Although the time looks correct on the photos they are not displaying in order, presumably because of the +GMT variable.
How do manage the photos such that they can be seen in chronological order?
Thank you

I expected Aperture to import the date/time stamp as it is on the picture, not the local time zone whenever imported.
Aperture does, but the EXIF date/time stamp does not necessarily have a time zone attached, even if the camera knows the time zone. That is why Aperture will default to the current system time zone.
You can check, which time zones Aperture is using for your dates, if you quit Aperture and change the date&time formats in the System Preferences to include the time zone.
System Preferences > Language & Region , click the "Advanced" button, open the "Times" tab. Drag a Time Zone  item to the Medium and Long Time Format like this:
When you relaunch Aperture it should now append the Time Zone to any "Date" from the "EXIF" meta data, if you use a metadata preset, that includes the EXIF "Date" field.
