Rearrange pictures in Library

Edit/drag/drop does not work in Photos. That's what Apple says since 2013, but I cannot make it work still in 2022. Help please!

If you put pictures in an album you can arrange them as you like. You could select all the pictures in your library and choose File>New Album with Selection to make an album with all your pictures that you can put in any order you like. Putting pictures in an album doesn't use more memory or change the photos at all. And you can delete pictures from an album without removing them from the library.
