I've encountered an issue that has happened on multiple occasions described below:
  • Images are sorted by Capture time.
  • In set of recent images, one or more of the images is suddenly replaced by a much older image in my library.
  • Sometimes it changes briefly as it's scrolled over or selected then eventually it is permanently that much older image. (This is also noticeable when using the mobile app)
  • I have a suspicion that it relates to duplicate file name conflict (which I thought LRC handled by default).
  • However when I search my OS/external drives/etc (Finder app) by filename, I only find the older image, as if the more recent one has been replaced/overwritten by the older image.
 
Fpr one of those images, go into the Develop module and take a look at the history panel on the left. Is your edit history still there?

Also Make sure that you have opened the most recent version of your catalog.
