Wanted to provide an update here: we are planning improvements for our photos experience; but don’t have a timetable to share just yet about this particular ask.

OneDrive Albums is useless without being able to sort order of albums. You can sort picture folders like other folders on OneDrive but not Albums. Major flaw IMO.

Please let us at least have the sort options of ordinary OneDrive folders.

Seems like basic functionality, why it does not sort at least based on name, defaults to time.

Please allow sorting in Albums. Having the newest photo on top would be great. As my albums get larger and larger, having to scroll to the bottom seems unnecessary. Thanks for your hard work so far on a great product!

I have thousands of photos uploaded to Onedrive photos over the span of 12 years and no way to sort these by date taken? Unbelievable. C'mon Microsoft!!!!!

Sorting of Albums is a fundamental need to create order of photos.
At least sorting by Album Name should be made available.

Better yet... please let me drag to my own custom order. I am often combining photos from multiple family members.

Please please please OneDrive, give us the ability to sort our Albums! You just gave us the ability to to use ChromeCast, and I've created a photo album for my son which is in chronological order; however I want the newest pics on top so that I don't have to scroll down 500 pics to see the latest photos.

Agree. It is really strange to custom sort order "rearrange" is available for folders but it is not available for photo albums. With out been able to rearrange photos in an album, the albums feature is useless to me.

I would also like a sorting by date. Or by Year at least.

+ allow sorting A->Z and Z->A and by date posted and date taken. At least the same options as we have in the Folders in OneDrive
