This is not helpful. How can I move one photo to a different position in the album? The custom sort doesn’t help either.

Hi Kkisaac625,
Thank you for following up with us.
You mentioned that sorting in a custom order doesn't help; can you let us know more about what happens when you try to sort in a custom order, so we can better assist you?
You should be able to move an individual photo by touching and holding the thumbnail, then moving it to a new location for a custom sort. There's more about that process in this link, which may help: Filter and sort photos and videos in albums on iPhone
