Apple Photos Slideshow Crashes While Arranging or Moving Imported Photos

When I drag photos from the Apple Photos Library onto an Apple Photos slideshow I’ve created on my iMac 27", the imported photos appear at the beginning of the slideshow, not at the end where I want them to appear. And they appear out of the sorted order they were originally in. So I have to resort the photos in the slideshow, and then drag them to the end of the slideshow where I wanted them to be. While moving those organized files to the right of the track and to the end of the slideshow, if I drag them slightly out of the track window OR just beyond the track window (past the circle + symbol) the program crashes.


Is there another solution to import and move photos into a specific position in the slideshow while keeping their original order? Or perhaps make the sorting window larger? I'm using Apple Photos 7.0 on an iMac 27" using version 12.6.3. I haven’t found another program to compare with the results I get in a completed Apple Photos Slideshows. I like the program. It's just not user friendly anymore.

Good day to you Skip Pennington, 


We understand that the Photos app is either quitting unexpectedly or becoming unresponsive during use. 


Here are some steps to get started with. It can often resolve issues related to a specific app: If an app freezes or quits unexpectedly on Mac


* If an app doesn’t quit as expected, or it’s unresponsive, you can force quit the app (you may lose unsaved changes). Choose Apple menu > Force Quit, select the app in the dialog that appears, then click Force Quit.
* If the app quit, reopen it by clicking Reopen in the dialog that appears.
* Restart your Mac by choosing Apple menu > Restart.
* Make sure the app is compatible with your version of macOS.
* Open another file in the app. There may be a problem with the original file.
* Check for updates to your software.
* Disconnect any peripheral devices you just connected (for example, a printer). They may not be compatible with your version of macOS.
* Uninstall any app plug-ins or enhancements from other manufacturers.
* If you recently updated the app or macOS, a plug-in or enhancement you installed may no longer be compatible.



Thanks.
