Currently I am sorting on Date but this is using the Date the file was Exported from Lightroom which is not helpful at all. I take a lot of Travel Photos with two different cameras and name the images with the Camera model. I know I could rename them all when I export them from LR but that isn't really practical.
Sort by date is already implemented in X3 since
Release [0.17]. It uses the image EXIF tag
DateTimeOriginal, which is specifically reserved for when the photo was first created (taken). You can read about the difference between EXIF tags
DateTime and
DateTimeOriginal here. Are you sure you are using latest release
X3 0.18.1? Either Lightroom (or some other process) is incorrectly replacing this tag, or it is somehow omitted from your uploaded photos.

Got a link with images not sorting per date? You could also send me three sample photos, and I will take a closer look ...
