how to change the order of files in a simple way
Hi
I need my files to be in a specific order. I have tried to follow some of the 'simple' steps in previous answers and I cant seem to do it. The files need to be in a running order. would love some help. Many thanks

The only way to do that and be certain of the order is to sort alphabetically and then rename your files so that they appear in the order you wish.
Hello,
I have organised my files by numbering them so they appear in order in the folder. However when i send the link or share via QR code they are all jumbled up. Please can some one help before i have to find another platform. So frustrating - many thanks

Hey ljwellness1, thanks for reaching out to us.
I'm afraid that the order of the files on a shared link cannot be changed; you can only change the view (list, grid, large grid, etc.).
But we appreciate your feedback on this and I'll make sure to pass your comments along to our team.
Hi Hannah,
Checking in to see if there has been any kind of update allowing users to order the files on a shared link? That would be a very helpful feature to have if it is still not part of the program.
Thank you
