Hi guys...I have a set of images in LRC v14.4 and I want to reorder them in the Library. When I select one and attempt to move it to a new position, I get "The currently selected source does not support custom order".
Is there anything I need to change to allow me to do this?

Yes, you need to change the source! Certain sources do not support Custom Order, e.g. the selected images are spread across multiple sub-folders, or multiple collections. Also smart collections and All Photographs do not support Custom Order.

So basically you need to be working in either a single folder or a single collection.

Thanks. I converted them to a collection and all is good now. I was even able to put more than one set into the collection and can now sort them all. Thanks
