rearranging the order of photos in a shared photo album

Photos in shared albums are only sorted by the order they were added. To rearrange you'll have too remove the photos and add them back in the order you'd like.

Arrange the photos in a standard album in the order you want. Then add them one-by-one to the shared album. If you share several photos at once, they may get mixed up again.
