Can albums be sorted alphabetically on an iPad?

Is it possible to sort albums alphabetically on an iPad? I see the option for a Mac; but not for an iPad. Seems like a pretty basic and common function.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, dragging and dropping photo albums alphabetically every time another album is added is cumbersome and problematic at best. I am very surprised that this basic function is not incorporated in a typical sort option for the iPad.

Are you referring to photo albums?

Manage your albums

If you want to change the name of an album that you've created, go to Albums, then tap See All. Tap Edit, tap the name of the album, and then change the album name. On your Mac, select the album, then type a new name.

To rearrange albums on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Albums, then tap See All next to My Albums. Tap Edit. Then tap and hold an album and drag it where you want it to go. Tap Done when you're finished.

To rearrange albums on your Mac, click My Albums, then drag an album where you want it to go. You can also Control-click My Albums, then choose Sort and choose to sort your albums alphabetically or by date.
