How do you organize and email in iPhoto IOS?

I just downlaoded iPhoto for IOS. I'm not really getting the logic of it as far as organizing is concerned. In Albums there are lots of Share options. However, there does not appear to be a way to organize photos the way I want them ordered in an album. Journal allows me to organize photos. However, there does not appear to way to email a photo from a Journal. Is there a way to both organize the order of photos in a group of photos and email one or more from the group?

If I turn on Help/? in an album one of the help baloons says "Drag to rearrange layout". However, when I try to drag one of the thumbnails nothing happens. What is "drag to rearrange" supposed to do?

Steve,

don't expect the organizational tools in the IOS iPhoto version to be similar to what you have in iPhoto on a mac.

Both are very different programs. IOS iPhoto does not (yet) support arranging the order of photos, other than in journals, and even there it is clumsy.

You can sort by date (ascending or descending) by holding down the caption "#xxx photos" and switch between "oldest first" -"Newest first" and order a slideshow by adding and selecting the photos in the order you want, but there are really not much possibilities to get control of the order in which photos will be displayed.

If I turn on Help/? in an album one of the help baloons says "Drag to rearrange layout". However, when I try to drag one of the thumbnails nothing happens. What is "drag to rearrange" supposed to do?

"Drag to arrange" will let you arrange the layout of the GUI - not the sorting of the photos. You can exchange the position of the viewer and the grid or the position of the toolsstrip.
