   NOTE: You can easily create new iPad albums by clicking on the green symbol on the top left, then giving your new album a name.

5. You can now rearrange photos within the chosen iPad album. Simply select one or multiple photos, then drag and drop them to the location of your choice. In this case, we changed the position of the photo on the top row
   NOTE: You cannot rearrange photos within the Camera Roll. Photos there are strictly arranged according to the time you took them. Due to an iOS limitation, you cannot use CopyTrans Photo to re-position photos within albums created on the iPad. Use the Photo app on your iPad to sort photos in such albums or create iPad albums directly via CopyTrans Photo

6. Click on the “Apply changes” button

7. The changes are applied directly to the iPad album
