I can’t suss how the order of photos loaded ends up as it is. It seems random. I just uploaded to this gallery, selecting the photos in the order they were taken, and in the gallery they are out of order.

Additionally, it would be lovely to be able to rearrange (drag and drop?) photo order in the gallery. Would make photo essay creation/editing easier.

Agreed. Would be nice to be able to drag-and-drop photos to re-order them. If I recall correctly, Facebook albums have this functionality.

Yep, we’ll have a way to re-order photos via drag-and-drop.

Right now, image order is determined by filename, so you can just name photos in the alphabetical order you want them to appear in before uploading to have them show up that way on albums.
