Practical use cases

Client review

Mixed-device files

Combine phone, computer and scanner files into one intentional order.

FAQ

Questions before you begin

What if dragging is difficult on mobile?

Each file has up and down buttons for precise touch-screen ordering.

Can I restore the upload order?

Yes. Choose original order from the sort menu at any time.

Is custom ordering paid?

No. Core renaming and custom drag ordering remain free forever.

COMMON TASKS

Arrange files manually, then rename them in that order

Use custom ordering when upload order or existing filenames do not match the delivery sequence you need. Arrange the files deliberately, then number that exact order. This tool does not randomize the list.

Drag files into delivery order

Arrange presentation assets, approval files or mixed-device batches by the sequence that actually matters.

Reorder precisely on mobile

Use the up and down controls on touch devices when drag-and-drop is inconvenient.

Number the final arrangement

Numbering follows the current preview order and downloads renamed copies while the original files remain unchanged.
