How to sort photos in Album

Cannot figure out how to re-sort my photos in an album. Must be easy but missing it.

If it's an automatically created album like "Library" or "Recents," then you can't sort them-- they are designed to present a particular view of your pictures.


For albums and Smart Albums that you create, you can click on the album and then use the menu View>Sort.


Or, what I usually do, is control-click (or two-finger click, etc) the album and a menu pops up for sorting



Also, in a regular album (not smart albums) that you create, you can click and drag pictures into any order you like.
