I am looking for a Mac OS X application to organize my photos. The default iPhoto is lacking two major features which I really want/need:

• automatically organize the photos by date: I tried to manually create smart albums and filters for each year and month, but this becomes tedious work.
• easily and thoroughly delete photos: Delete doesn't work. Right-click and delete doesn't exist. Dragging into the Trash is not an option. Command+Option+Delete deletes the photo for now and it reappears at a later time.

Also, I'd like a free application, or inexpensive at the most. Other features are a bonus.

EDIT

Picasa is not working the way I am interested in.

Also, the best example is the way Windows handles the photos in the photos folder. The pictures get organized and grouped automatically.

EDIT 2

I've also tried other applications, such as Pixa, Lyn, and none of them offer any sorting and grouping by date.
