Light Room Classic Custom Order Problem

I have LR Classic 10.1.1 running on Mac OS Mojave 10.14.3. In the past, I have changed the order of images within a folder by modifying a few "times of capture" and leaving them sorted that way. That keeps them in the desired order after exporting to Flickr via jfFlickr. But shouldn't it be possible to re-order them using"custom order" in LR? In Library grid view, as well as in the filmstrip below, when I try to drag/drop an image, nothing changes. There are no sub-folders or stacks, just pictures in the folder. Adobe "Help" has not so far. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

To the best of my knowledge collections has always been the only way to rearrange photos. When exporting from LR I always use custom "names/sequential" order to keep the order the same

Thanks to you and others who recommend collections. Those don't work either because Drag & Drop of selected single or multiple photos isn't working in LRC. Also, "Email Photo" no longer works. It creates an email, but there is no photo(s) attached.
I am trying to get help from Adobe.

BTW, can collections include movie clips? Can you export a collection to Flickr, preserving the final order and captions? TNX

Is the folder you are working in a subfolder itself? LrC is very selective about letting you change image positions.

Once I finally connected with Adobe support, Ravi was able to fix it by restarting the OS and upgrading to the latest version of LrC. I can again reorder in folders and email Photo also works now.

I would still appreciate answers to: Can collections include movie clips? Can you export a collection to Flickr, preserving the final order and captions? TNX
