Rearrange the order of photos in an album
It would be really useful to make path to rearrange the order of photos in an album by dragging. Also I need to choose by myself the cover photo of the album, not to be selected at random. Thank you in advance!

Wanted to provide an update: we’ll consider this for our roadmap going forward, but don’t have any further specifics we can share at this time.

Maybee the easiset way is to change the sort order of photos to be the "file name" and not the data when the photo is taken.. if so any user easliy could rearrange the album... do also please ake into consideration that Windows is working in one way... the app and the sort order differs on an on a iPhone as an example... from Windows when vieing an album...

Good idea made 3.5 years ago to be able to rearrange order of pictures within an "album". It is still a good idea. I'd be interested to know what folks at Microsoft use for photo albums - they can't be using OneDrive unless they like random ordered photos. As Bill Gates once said "eat your own dogfood" to make the product better.

I am absolutely stunned and appalled at how idiotic this is... you're telling me that I can't SORT MY PHOTOS IN THE **** PHOTO ALBUM?? Is this truly the quality of Microsoft's work that we've all learned to trust?? This is beyond ridiculous, why am I paying for this?? Even someone learning coding for their first time in junior high would be able to code this feature in... my god.

Easiest fix would be to apply the same order from the OneDrive camera roll to the respective album. Currently users suffer very poor user experience with a completely mixed up order. Does Apple have the same issues? ICloud could be an option.

Yes. rearrange needed and yes it is a disaster. Very basic I would think.

Not being able to rearrange photos in an established album is a disaster that needs a fix. Please.

Hi. Please arrange a fix for sorting/managing photos by date, location name etc. With the amount of photos which can now be stored, in One Drive for Business, this must be an essential function for many businesses

Not happy with an Album where photos are in no logical order. Surely a rearrange facility should be possible ?

I have tagged a groups of images and created an album from each set of tagged images. The images reside in various folders in OneDrive.
I need to re-arrange them within the album to suite my purposes, but there is no way to do this.
I'm trying to share groups of images with various audiences and sorting would make OneDrive a viable solution. Without the sorting feature, OneDrive is practically useless other than as a cloud storage facility.
Really, this is absolutely necessary. -

Being able to rearrange photos in a OneDrive album to create a custom order is essential. I was very surprised to find that it's not already possible. Drag and drop to create a custom order seems to be the way to go. Thanks.

I agree wholeheartedly!! I uploaded a couple thousand pictures in about the same week and they are ALL jumbled. Where I had a nice, neatly organized "file cabinet" that is my phone gallery, now I have a ton of them to go through to find a set of 8 or so that used to have their own folder!!!!

Why is not the file-order saved in a folder taken for the newly created album :-o??? What a mess :-/. The photos are coming totally random, as the Nexus mobile did not save the EXIF data but the file name. Please, allow me at least to use the file-name or at least the folder-save order! Thank you

You create an album from a file after hitting "save sort order" and the order changes in the album? Hopeless. I echo all previous comments. Get this sorted Outlook....

Why??? From a technical perspective it cannot be hard to associate ordering with the images in an album. Are there legal or patent issues? If so, let us know. If not, it is a huge miss.
