Sequential ordering of photos within an Album

I am having the same issue. It appears you should be able to sequentially sort the photos in the album.

No, "albums" are just lists of files you select and the list is sorted by date.

When viewed in the file section of Dropbox they do appear in filename sequence. But when viewed them in the Photo album area of Dropbox they are in a random sequence and do not appear in any date or file name sequence. Any work around ? 

Rearranging photos in an Album? How can you do it? Seems like they are in order of time date not my sequenced number system. How can you work around this?

Rename the files. 

BUT remember that Carousel etc. is being closed down soon so albums made with that will stop working 

The files have been renamed to the order I want them to appear 1 through…. They show up in order in Dropbox folder and then when I create a Album they do not. I think they go in the order of time… when they were shot. Because I used two cameras at different times. So I just want the album to follow the number sequence.

Graig, You may be confusing an "album" with a "folder" - they are not the same. Files live in folders where you may rename them and see a different order. Albums are sets of pointers to files (not the files themselves) and their order is the "Timeline."

I am not confusing them… I know the difference. So is there a way to make the Album follow the numbering system that I created and not be a "timeline" thing? I want the Album to follow exactly what the folder has in it. I created the files to be a certain way by numbering them… then I look at the Album and they are not following the numbers. Any way to change the Album presets?

No.

Am I understanding correctly that there is no way to organize the photos in an album?  If that is correct, that is something that needs to be changed.
