    Hi JAB3, thanks for messaging the Community!

    Currently, it isn't possible to manually change the order of files as they appear in a shared folder. 

    However, you can change the order by adding numbers at the beginning of files with a leading zero, such as 01 test.txt, 02 abc.txt, and so on. In alphabetical order, the numbers would appear in order and thus you can sort your files that way.

    If you need any further assistance, please let me know!
