How to manually sort photos in album

In High Sierra, I cannot shot my photos manually in an album. When I drag them to a new position, they return to where they started.


I can either sort by title, oldest first or newest first. There is no choice for a manual sort.

Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1), 16GB, 1TB Fusion Drive

What kind of albums are you trying to rearrange? I can no longer test on OS X El Capitan (10.11.1), but in Photos 3.0 on macOS 10.13.4 High Sierra only standard albums can be sorted manually, not smart albums. At least, in my libraries the manual sort does not work for smart albums.
