Shouldn't the display adjust for time zone, so that pictures are in
chronological order, even if without time zone info, they would be displayed in
a different order? Does this happen now?

Sounds promising in any case. Look forward to whatever you come up with, though,

photos to be different from the time that things happened, so I probably won't
want to use this tool...
