How to sort files within a folder

Does anyone know how to move picture locations within a dropbox file folder?  For example, if I wanted to move the location of a photo from the beginning to the end of the file.  There does not appear to be any kind of drop and drag capability.

    Files are sorted alphanumerically by default. If you want to change the order of the files, you'll need to rename the files so they're organized how you want them.
