Reorder button unresponsive for Photos app Collections

Hello,

I would like to report a bug in the Photos app on iPhone SE 2022 running iOS 26.1

According to Apple’s instructions, it should be possible to reorder Collections by going to:

Photos app → Collections → scrolling to the bottom → tapping Reorder → dragging the collections into a new position.

It also says that I can use the “Layout and Reorder” button.

However, when I tap Reorder, nothing happens. The button does not respond at all.

I have already tried the following, but the issue persists:

Restarting the iPhone
Deleting and reinstalling the Photos app
Updating iOS (not available currently any newer)
Trying again with no other apps running

The feature still does not work.

Could you please check this issue?

Thank you.

iPhone SE

When you tap "reorder", the display should show you a list of items that can be rearranged, with handles (three horizontal lines) to the right of the items. Then you should be able to hold down onto the handle, until until it is moving slightly, and now it can be dragged to a different position. Are you not even seeing the handles, like in this screenshot? My iPhone is set to German, so it is showing "Sammlungen " instead of "Collections". The handles are very faint because of the Liquid Glass design.
