Sort photos inside a folder in the order that I want to present to receivers

Sort photos inside a folder in the order that I want to present to receivers

This was asked before but the anwers were about sorting out the files, not the photos inside a file.  I would like to put the photos of a house, starting from the entrance door, going through to the other rooms in a house in the right order.  Please advise.  Many thanks.

Like most file systems, Dropbox sorts file alphabetically, or by date, size or type. The only way to have files displayed in a specific order of your choosing is to rename them so when sorted alphabetically, they appear in the order you wish.

Thank you vm for your reply.  I don't know if it is possible to rename the file name from IMG_20201110_194751.jpg?  There's no option that I can find.
