    Set the order to 'album order'

    Then you can highlight, then drag and drop the files where you want in the browsing space.

    It didn't Work album order rearranged my photos in the album when I clicked on it

    It would take days to rearrange the 300 photos back into a sequential date order like oldest

    just want to move 20 or so photos

    now I just relate the photos to get them in the right place. Headache

    Marlene,

    That proves that you can access the album sort order.

    Your problem is that you don't want to sort all photos manually.

    Do you mean that you would be happy to start with the 'oldest' choice, then only move around 20 or so,

    Then, create a new empty album.

    In the present one, set the order to 'oldest'.

    Select all.

    Drag all photos to the new album (or drag the new album over the selected photos).

    The new album will inherit the 'oldest' order as the custom order, so:

    set the order to 'custom',

    and move around your 20 pictures.

    When all is done, you can delete the old album, that won't delete any picture, only the album, which is only a sorted list of files like an audio playlist. Deleting the list does not delete the files it references.
