Digikam includes the option to sort files in an album by "manual and name" or "manual and date." However, I haven't been able to find any way to "manually" reorder files. The official documentation doesn't seem to elaborate on this. Has anyone used this feature?

Have you try with drag and drop?– Romeo NinovJun 3, 2021 at 7:34

Yes, that does not work.– eigenhectorJun 4, 2021 at 1:34

I've got Version 6.4.0, and
there I was able to reorder images by dragging
after I had switched to "By Manual and name" in "View"|"Sort Items".
However, this was only possible in "Thumbnails" and "Preview" view mode,
not in "Table" view.
And I had to drag the thumbnail onto the thumbnail of the target position, not between two thumbnails.
And the new ordering was persistent after restarting Digikam.
I would love to be able to persist this to disk, ie rename the files according to the displayed ordering. If anyone has got any suggestions, please do let us know.

sunito's answer works also in 7.1, but not in the most recent release 7.2. It seems there is a bug! EDIT: it works again in the weekly snaphot digiKam-7.3.0-20210613T170955-x86-64.appimage– DrumsalJun 13, 2021 at 21:53
