Synchronise collection from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom cc

Hi

I have sorted my collection on Lightroom Classic in "custom order" mode and would like this "Custom Order" to be maintained when synchronising with Lightroom cc.

It does not seem to work. It seems to sort only by date or by name; This is useless for me as it must be for many users.

Please advise as I would like to avoid renaming all the photos.

Also please advise if this could be sorted with Google Drive and if there is an easy to use plug in to publish on Google Drive. I do not want to use Flickr or Facebook.

Thanks

Fabrice

    It should work, but of course you do need to set "Custom Order" as the sort option in Lightroom CC. Which LRCC app are you referring to (desktop, web, tablet, phone)?

    Although you can change the custom order in Classic and LRCC Web, you can't change it in LRCC Desktop (not sure about tablet/phone), but LRCC Desktop WILL reflect the custom order that you set either in Classic or LRCC Web (but as I said, you have to change the sort order in LRCC Desktop to "Custom"). Click on the Sort Order icon on the toolbar for sort options.
