sort photos manually

I had the same question and came across this. I haven't tried it, so no guarantees it will work.

Why not just use the Album?

That's exactly what they are designed for.

Very nice, thanks. I just tried it and it works a treat.

Yes, you can use albums, but that's not really an answer. Because sometimes you want to see photos in a different sequence without wanting to make or have an album.

Which is exactly what Albums are designed for.

Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken. You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated. If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums (Where you can manually sort) which are much more flexible than Events as an organising tool.

Good points, Terence. I especially like "If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums"
