Rearranging the photos inside an album
How can I rearrange the photos inside an album? The old way of hovering doesn’t work anymore. It brings up a menu instead.

Hi there Kkisaac625,
In order to rearrange pictures in an album on your iPhone, follow these steps from Organize and find your photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
Manage your albums
To change the name of an album:
1. Go to the album and tap the More button.
2. Tap Rename Album.
3. Change the name, then tap Save.
To rearrange your albums:
1. Go to Albums, tap See All, then tap Edit.
2. Touch and hold an album and drag it anywhere you want.

Tap Sort, then choose a sorting option, like Custom Order, Oldest to Newest, or Newest to Oldest.
If you are trying to accomplish something else, please provide more details so that we can continue to assist.

Hi Kkisaac625,
Thank you for following up with us.
You mentioned that sorting in a custom order doesn't help; can you let us know more about what happens when you try to sort in a custom order, so we can better assist you?
You should be able to move an individual photo by touching and holding the thumbnail, then moving it to a new location for a custom sort. There's more about that process in this link, which may help: Filter and sort photos and videos in albums on iPhone

Thanks!
This is not helpful. How can I move one photo to a different position in the album? The custom sort doesn’t help either.
