Incorrect date for iPhone video after trimming it

Hello,
I just noticed that if you shoot a video with an iPhone and then trim it with Apple's Photos app (I often do this to keep only the best moments of the video), when you sync with Immich, it chooses the date you edited the video and not the date you recorded it!

I probably didn't search thoroughly enough, but I didn't find anyone else complaining about this. Am I the only one who trim videos?

Also, the date you recorded the video is still in the metadata, but due to the order of the metadata,
CreateDate
CreateDate
(the date you trim the video) precedes
CreationDate
CreationDate
(the date you recorded the video).

https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/0729887c9c6da88e717b277ddecdf58a7c9df671/server/src/services/metadata.service.ts#L41

Can I change the order in my Immich instance, or is this not recommended?
Thank you
