Keep Photo Sorting While In Edit Mode

I hope I'm not the only one that finds it extremely disorienting to have all my photos neatly arranged and sorted, only to click the "Change" button and have them immediately locked into numerical order, with no way to have any clue which one belongs to which room any more.

Numerical order is certainly helpful for making sure the "top five" are what we want. But most of my photo sorting time is spent trying to get them assigned to the correct rooms. It would be extremely handy to have a drop-down selector in edit mode (as there already is in non-edit mode!) to tell OR how we want them sorted. It would make assigning them to rooms so much easier if we could just drag-n-drop them to the correct headings instead of having to click "edit," find the room in the drop-down, and then click "close" on every one of them.

Hey Elliot,

We actually have a major overhaul of the Photos page dropping in the next week or two that should address all of these concerns! I'll provide an update here when that drops.

Hey Elliot,

On the new Photos page design that released today, the View/Edit pages will now be one combined page, so you'll be able to leverage the "Group by" dropdown to see which photos are tagged to which room/amenity or not tagged to anything.

Check it out! Hope it helps!

Sweet! At least that part works pretty easy now!

I am not able to change my photo order - the links to move up and down don’t work. Can you help?

Hey Allison,

If you haven't already, please write that up to the Helpdesk at help@ownerrez.com

If you can include a screen recording that would be helpful.
