How Do I Arrange the Photos In My Galleries?

Last Updated: Apr 05, 2013 05:34AM PDT

You can arrange photos in bulk within a gallery or move them between galleries.

drag and drop arrange

Drag & drop!

  1. Log in, if you haven't already.
  2. View your photos in the SmugMug or Thumbnails styles.
  3. Look for the arrange mode checkbox. Check it. Now click a small image, hold your mouse down, and drag it where you want it. Release.

Smooth as butter?

Gotcha: If you have changed your gallery settings to automatically sort by caption, date, etc., it will override the arrange tool.

Tip:  Try the Thumbnails style. It puts every photo in the gallery on one page — perfect for arranging. Or, select Drag to Arrange from the Tools Menu. It generates a page of thumbs for you.

Other options

The Arrange photos tool, at right, will let you scoot photos around your gallery in a hurry. It takes a few seconds to get your left hand on the W, A, S and D keys and your right hand on the arrow keys, but when you do you can arrange at warp speed.

You'll find this tool in the Tools Menu.

You can set a gallery to "Auto sort" in your gallery settings. Tips.
