Explanation

The differences from ImageKit5 and ImageKit6
In the ImageKit5 and ImageKit6, the Sort property's date referred to the last time the file was modified. In the ImageKit10 if the Sort property is set to 2 (ikSortDate) and the SortDate property is set to 1 (ikSortDateLastWriteTime), then the ImageKit10 will behave in the same way as the ImageKit5 and ImageKit6.
