Do you get any error message? If yes please post this error message.

Without detailed information and feedback on questions nobody can help you!

 

Example: If you try to move the photos while you have selected this folder it will not work because the photo is in a sub-folder.

 

You must always stand on the folder where the photo is. Then you can move it, as described by dj, and the sort method will change.

Watch this video- The section on Custom sorting of images starts about the 19minute mark.

Is this a question about Lightroom Classic??

 

If so, in a folder, or in a regular collection:

 

Place your mouse in the center of the thumbnail image of a photo you want to move. Hold the mouse button down. Drag up or down or left or right to wherever you want it.

Ahh, I chose Classic as the format I was asking about.

Yes you would think that is what you can do but it's Abobe. Never that
simple.

Works for me. Are you sure you are in a Folder or regular collection (and not a smart collection)?
