Re: How to change the order of files in a simple way?
Hello,
I have organised my files by numbering them so they appear in order in the folder. However when i send the link or share via QR code they are all jumbled up. Please can some one help before i have to find another platform. So frustrating - many thanks

Hey ljwellness1, thanks for reaching out to us.
I'm afraid that the order of the files on a shared link cannot be changed; you can only change the view (list, grid, large grid, etc.).
But we appreciate your feedback on this and I'll make sure to pass your comments along to our team.

Hi Hannah,
Checking in to see if there has been any kind of update allowing users to order the files on a shared link? That would be a very helpful feature to have if it is still not part of the program.
Thank you

Hey @MDuser89, have you tried renaming your files to be ordered as you'd like, as Rich suggested?
Other than that, I'm afraid there's not much else we can really recommend to achieve this.
