Getting to most recent photos in Photos app

So, I’m trying to get to the latest photos within the Recents section of the Photos app, but it seems that my scroll bar has disappeared. Running an iPhone 8 with latest iOS.

I currently have, like, 100 pages of photos and it would take quite a long time to scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen with the three-finger swipe up gesture. Also, when I do this, scrolling seems randomly to stop, making it necessary to touch the screen before I can get it to scroll again.

Is there any way to more quickly navigate to the very bottom of the Recents photos? Is it possible to arrange the photos so that my most recent ones appear at the top of the screen rather than at the bottom?

I have over 1700 photos in my library at the moment. This is what I do. Highlight the albums tab, found at the bottom, locate recents, open it up. Touch the lower left hand corner, and locate library tab. Swipe to the left one time. You will see a total count of photos and or videos. Swipe to the left one more time, and you'll be at your most recent photos. As to how to sort so recents are at the top, I don't think you can do this? I hope this helps.
