    rearranging photos


    I simply want to rearrange a large number of photos in a given folder in "file explorer". It appears that is not possible in Windows Explorer but is a capability of One Drive?

    Thank you for the information. Just to verify, are you trying to do it using the OneDrive Desktop App or is it through OneDrive.com?



    If you are using the OneDrive Desktop App, we suggest you to try it on OneDrive.com, and follow the steps below to rearrange your files:



    • Browse to the folder with the files or photos you want to rearrange.
    • Tap or click Sort, and then choose Rearrange.
    • If prompted, install Microsoft Silverlight.
    • Arrange the files or photos by dragging them in the order you want them to appear.
    • Tap or click Save sort order.


    Let us know how it goes.

    Restore Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10  


    Thanks! I tried it, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm sure it's probably something I did on my end....

    I tried the 'undo' but photo viewer was still there after I did that. I did step #3 again and it's still the same. I can still rearrange, but can't view in that order. I don't see the photo viewer listed twice under 'open with'.

    Any insights? Thanks!

    Rearrange Photos

    Is there a way to rearrange the photos I've added to an album? For example: I seem to be unable to click-and-drag a photo from the middle of an album and place it anywhere I'd like. Seems like a huge flaw for an app with a slideshow feature.
