It seems this is a "time slice" picture. The same scene was photographed at regular intervals over a long period of time and a bit of each was pasted sequentially going from left to right. There are pictures like this showing the scene changing from dawn to dusk. You can see some wonderful examples here:

AND there is a video explaining how it is done.

It can't be one-hour intervals because the right nine shots all have the same contrails. Those won't last nine hours.
The article in the link above indicated the shots were 4 minutes apart, from the same location (on a tripod).

Looks like they chopped the image into slices and added a color cast to each slice. Also looks like they messed with the order of the layers.
I'd make a thin selection and "create new layer via cut" Go back to the original layer and repeat until each slice is on a new layer. I think there may be a tool in PS for doing that though.
For me, it is an interesting effect, but they went too far when they scrambled the layer order.

Agree with everything you said.

I'm sure it is a Photoshop thing. Seen it before. Other UHH'ers have a good handle on how to exactly do it. It is too much work for me. A triptych is enough work!

Considering the ugly result, my only question is WHY?

The only reason I can think of that you would want to know how this is done, is so you don't accidentally do it.

By accident?

When you try it post it. I am interested to see the results. I read and watched the video in the article. I would think that the approach and subject matter in the article was more appropriate to the Time Line slicing than a picture of the sky. The city, Shanghai, does not move or change shape, so you get the feel for the changing light and colors without the subject matter changing as in the photo example you posted. When I first saw it I like it. After seeing the picture in the article I like that approach and subject matter better. But he also put a lot of time and effort into his rendition. Take care. Hope to see a nice shot.

I personally like any attempt to stray from the ordinary. Mind you it doesn't always work but if I look at photos with no attempt to explore different possibilities of exposure my eyes tend to glaze over.
The technique is worth consideration but image in question is too disjointed. IMHO

Two Images used one for sky and one for foreground silhouette. Re-size sky image so it will divide exactly by the number of slices you want. ie an image 500 px high and 800 across could be divided into 20 slices 500 x 40.
Use rectangular selection tool and have Fixed Size selected and put in your slice sizes. Select first area and go Ctrl/J to put it on another layer. Select area next to first and with base image selected go Cttl/J again. Repeat across all the base image until you have 20 small slices.
Simply drag the layers to where you want them and colour each one separately.
When that is done make all the slices visible and go Layer>Merge Visible.
Copy and paste this sky slices image on top of the silhouette foreground and either use a blend mode or layer mask to reveal foreground.
Not difficult but fiddly and time consuming.

It's actually the same shot taken at different times of the day. The shots are not random at all but I'd guess as there are 16 shots they were taken at one hour intervals. The trees in the foreground all align.
Looks more like 2 minute intervals to me if that is how it is done.

Since the clouds do not line up, since they are moving, I think this is a composite of 15 different images on different layers, then adjusting the hue on each layer. It took a lot of work for a fairly simple image.

I don't think the image is ugly, But I do think that the photographer's approach is flawed.
