Windows Phone 8.1 won't organize files stored on SD card

Windows Central Question

Recently I bought a new SD card, move all of my data in their respective folders and for some reason my Lumia 640 XL just dump all new files into the "others" folder. Photos, images and documents don't show up correctly, I can still access the files through a file manager app but can't find them on the phone's native apps.
Anyone have a clue of what's happening?

format the card and then add the data again, though in batches and not all at once
