Go to menu: view > sort > choose however you want to sort them
User order = manually sorting the order

Drag and drop the photos in the order you want them. You can do that in the "filmstrip" view at the bottom of the screen also.

I believe you have to be in the Library module, and in the Grid view for them to move around.

You have to be viewing the lowest level folder or have 'include photos from subitems' turned off - it won't work if you're viewing a composite of a folder and its subfolders.

Also, pick the picture up by the middle of the image, not the area surrounding it.

I've been having the same problem. I try to drag an image and it just bounces back to the original place as though it were on a spring. The only way I've found around that is to make a Quick Collection from my catalogue; then I can move things around in the grid view.

Now that explains a few things. Thanks! :)
