I have recovered images from a lost partition and I need to sort them or put them into a folder by the creation date in the EXIF data of each image.

I have installed digiKam and also shotwell but have not found the way to do this on any of the options.

Can anyone explain to me how to do it with either of those programs or by any other method?

My favorite solution is to set the file date the same as the exif photo date. Doing this, you can sort the files using any file explorer tool.

Go to the photos directory and run this command jhead -ft *. This will set the file date in the filesystem with the create date of the exif metadata

Now just go to the top menu (in Ubuntu you most go with the mouse through the top of the monitor screen), select View → Sort Images → By Date.
