But the ones there from before will not, so its broken as well.That's normal. The setting doesn't apply to old content. It only applies to media added after you changed it.
What can I do?
Jellyfin does not store both dates in the metadata. So if you didn't enable it before, the time of which you added the media to a library is long gone.
The only way to "fix" your issue is for you to remove all your media, then add them one-by-one in the same order you have done so. That is, if you can remember that for all your videos.
Since you had "use the file's creation time" selected, when you sort by date added, you're sorting by the date the files came into existence by whoever created them. Or if you extracted them or modified them, their creation dates can be changed too which jumbles the sorting some more.
