Hi PaulD_,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you’re having trouble organizing your photos on your Mac. I’m happy to help.
To start, I suggest making sure you’re running the latest macOS version:
How to update the software on your Mac - Apple Support
Then, try the steps in the article below:

If you still can’t drag and drop photos, test to see if the issue persists in another user account:

Let me know the results.
Take care.

The photos are organized. Im trying to place a year's photos in a separate album. Expected to be able drag&drop from Year's View. Guess you have to go to Month View double click which takes you to All Photos View and hand pick. Done it for 16 years worth of photos.
Thanks
Have you considered creating a smart album for the year in question:
Then you can select all of the photos in the smart album and drag to the album of your choice. Or just use smart albums.
thanks for the great suggestion. Will give it a try.
