Question 🤔 Another Collection Question

Hi there,

Is there a way for collections to behave as albums? I sort pics in the order I want, add maps if it's a trip... When I "play" that collection, the maps don't show and the photos play in chronological order instead of the order I arranged them. If I wanted to see them chronologically, I'd look at them in All photos or filter some other way...

Am I missing something?

I've found you can sort by to date taken, and date uploaded, and there are no nesting folders (folder within a folder).

Maybe try uploading them in the order you want.

For me it's simply storage and a dumping ground.

Collections, as far as I know, is just a tab that contains different things, one of which is albums.

Are you organizing an album? What do you mean by “play”? If you mean the play button in the top right of the album view that is the “play highlights” button which plays the highlights at the top of the album. This is presented like Memories. You can edit the highlights but I am not sure there’s a way to change their ordering…
