How to Rearrange Photos in a Yahoo! Photos Album

Yahoo! Photos allows you to store an unlimited number of photos and share them with friends and family. Yahoo! Photos also has some great features that allow you to organize and display your photos in a meaningful way. For example, you can rearrange the order of photos in an album so that your images tell a story. Here's how to rearrange photos in a Yahoo! Photos album:

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Computer with Internet access
• Image files in .jpeg or .jpg format to upload
• Yahoo! account

1. Go to your collections list and select a photo album to view by clicking its name.

2. Click and drag photos to a new location. A vertical bar will appear when you have placed the photo in a location that it can be dragged to.

3. Drag groups of photos by holding down the "Ctrl" key while you click on each photo.

4. Release the mouse button when your photo is at the location you want it to be.

5. Rearrange albums with more than 100 images by clicking the 1-100 pull-down menu in the top-right corner of the album viewing window.

6. Choose “Show All” from the menu to access all photos on a single page.

Tips & Warnings

• There are many different ways you can use the album rearranging feature to let your photos tell a story. For example, you can create an album that features photos of a single person or pet and arrange them in chronological order so that the story begins with a birth and shows life events in the order they happened. Alternatively, you can rearrange an album of wedding photographs to tell the story of the wedding (or another such event). Because you can email invitations to view the photos to multiple people at once, this is a great way to display share photos with all your guests.
• You cannot rearrange photos in a Smart Album or photos in the “All My Photos” collection. Because the contents of these collections change as you upload new photos, any rearranging you do in these albums might therefore be lost as soon as new photos are added to the collection.
• Although photos in the “All My Photos” collection can’t be rearranged, you can sort them by date and name. To do this, click the “Sort By” link that appears just below the photo tray. Click the type of sorting arrangement you want to use, which will reload the page with your new criteria (if you have a very large photo collection or a slow Internet connection, this could take a while).
• The “All My Photos” collection allows you to reverse the order of your photos. Clicking “Reverse Sort” will reverse the current order of the photos. For example, if your photos are ordered by name (which means they’re sorted alphabetically), "Reverse Sort" will arrange them in reverse alphabetical order. The “Reverse Sort” option is located in the “Sort By” menu.
