Reordering folders in a portfolio

Hello @Dazzling_Essenceedb3,

I hope you are doing well, and thank you for reaching out. Sorry for the trouble you had.

In Acrobat 2026.002.22031, PDF Portfolio folders cannot be saved in an arbitrary custom order by dragging them up or down. Acrobat displays the folder entries according to the Portfolio’s active sorting rather than a separate manual folder sequence.

The most reliable workaround is to rename the folders with numeric prefixes, for example:

• 01 – Introduction

• 02 – Supporting Documents

• 03 – Exhibits

Then sort the Portfolio by Name in ascending order. Using two-digit prefixes helps keep the sequence correct when you have more than nine folders.

Files within a folder are handled separately: you can move files into or between folders, and their displayed order may be changed by dragging or by sorting the file list. Changing the file order does not change the order of the folders themselves.

Before renaming or restructuring the Portfolio, save a backup copy.

Check this article for more details: https://adobe.ly/4ildVxT

If prefixed folder names still do not appear in the expected sequence, please share a screenshot showing the Portfolio view and the currently selected sort column.

I hope this helps, and please reach out if you need any assistance or have any questions.

Regards,

Anand Sri
