not talking about syncing from classic to mobile.  once in mobile, can images be moved around.  not referring to sorting either.

If you mean you want to create a custom sort order, then yes you can do that. Open the album, then tap on the tri-dot icon top right, select the "Sort by...." drop down list, select "Custom Order", then tap on "Edit" (on iOS) or the pencil icon (on Android). That opens the reorder screen, press and hold on the individual images then drag and drop them into the desired order. Tap on "Done" when you've finished.

 

Note that once a Custom Order has been set it will sync to all your synced devices, but will only be seen in that order when you select the "Custom Order" sort order. Note also that if you share the album online, by default the album will be shown in that custom order (which cannot be changed by the viewer). You can, however, reset the custom order back to one of the "standard" orders should you want to have the shared album shown in a different order, but that resets the custom order throughout the system.

Moved from where to where? You can move them between collections/albums - use the three dot menu, choose Select, select them, choose move from the bottom of the screen.

within the same album.  not talking about top to bottom or vice versa.
