Organising pictures inside an album (Help)

Hi all. 

Seems as though it should be one of the most simple and obvious features but cannot for the life of me figure out how to drag and swap around pics within an album, in Lightroom for iPad. 
Usually on most apps you hold click a pic in an album (grid mode)  and it should grab it and allow you to move it amongst the other pics to organise.

 

Have tried moving individual pics from one album into another in a specific order and yet it still jumbles them back up into the order I didn't want in the folder I had just moved them out of. 

Frustrating!! 

Thanks for any help.

 

Merry Christmas.

Hi richard27638231m37l,

Sorry for your frustration. In LrM for iPad, try this - select an album (you'd like to re-order pictures within), then select (...) menu in the grid on the upper right, then "Sort by..." option, then "Custom" and tap "Edit" next to it. You should see the blue top bar over the album photos that has "Reorder Photos" message. At this point you should be able to select one or more photos, long press on them until you see their thumbnails and drag them to a desired location.

Once you've re-arranged your photos, select "Done" button on the upper right.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Cheers,

Elmira
