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.

You need to fix this NOW. We used to be able to rearrange photos, but you suddenly removed that feature. Please bring it back.

You need to do this NOW. It used to be a feature, but you suddenly took it away. Why?
Please restore this feature of being able to rearrange photos. -

I completely agree with this. OneDrive's photo features are very poor cf. Google Photos. The lack of editing I can overcome by using a different program or app, but the inability to order the photos in an album in the order that I want is a criminal lack. This is a basic feature of any photo organising software and it's been missing for *5 years*. Come on Microsoft, you can do so much better here!

OneDrive is a great as a general cloud storage app, but they really dropped the ball on the Album feature. Manual organizing of photos is essential if this feature is going to be of much use. Google Photos has had this from the beginning, which is why it continues to be the superior photo storage app.

I would have thought it would be quiet a basic thing to do
Could really do with sorting out a special album -

What a worthless application if you cannot rearrange photos in an album. MS proving again it is clueless.

Found that OneDrive uses date uploaded on iOS but date taken on the web when displaying an album.
If you're not going to allow us to fully manually rearrange an album, at least use a consistent sorting method between platforms and allow users to toggle it.

I'm amazed that this is not done after five years. With all that time passed, maybe even a random code generator would nail it.

We have this issue for quite sometime now-- Dragging and Dropping of Multiple photos from Onedrive web-view is currently not working!
I have to sync my Sharepoint/Onedrive to be able to seamlessly drag and drop files via file explorer

-Only Move per one Item.
-Drag and Drag not working for multiple photos -

In Photo app the images are store backwards from the order the camera /phone took them. If you take a continuous shot of an event the images automatically are stored backwards. Just need to reverse the orde,,,,

OneDrive albums are entirely useless without being able to set the order of the photos. Think of a physical album of photos. If you were required to place paper photos in the exact order you took them, you'd pull your hair out!! An album is an organization of photos to *tell a story*.

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

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....
