How can I rearrange photos in a folder into the order I need?
I am hoping this is an operator error as I am a novice at Dropbox. I have a folder created with 37 selected wedding pictures to share with the printing company I need to rearrange from the time date...

Hi there elisa22, thanks for reaching out!
There are a few ways to sort your files in Dropbox, but you wouldn't be able to do this through dragging and dropping I'm afraid.
Since you don't want to sort them by the time stamp, perhaps the best method would be to sort them by name and rename the photos to put them in the order you need. Eg. "1 - xxx", "2 - xxx"
You can check out some more info on sorting your files here.
Let me know if this helps!
