User list drag & drop sorting needs revision
What have you done to the ability of dragging the images in create list. You do realize this is not better, right? It takes 10-times longer to drag an image around, especially while dragging it upward. What was the thinking behind this?

Why specifically does it take you 10 seconds longer? In long lists or even in small, 10-ish-item lists?
How was this better in the previous version?
Please use descriptive titles and descriptions, and avoid dramatic, non-descriptive titles such as "What have you done?" for your feedback item titles. I've rewritten your title.
Before this update to the user‑list drag‑and‑drop sorting, all we had to do was click the image itself and drag it to where we wanted it. The screen would automatically scroll up or down depending on the direction we were moving the image, so placing things was quick and easy.
Now, with the new Tab button and Remove button at the bottom of each image, the auto‑scrolling no longer works. You can only move an image one or two rows at a time. You have to release it, manually scroll the page, click the Tab button again, move it another couple of rows, and repeat that over and over until the image finally reaches the spot you want. There’s no auto‑scroll at all.
As for the Remove button, I think it’s useful. It’s convenient to remove something directly from the list instead of going to the profile page and deleting it from there.
But when it comes to moving images inside a list, I don’t understand why the Tab button was added for repositioning in the first place. The old system — clicking and dragging the image while the page auto‑scrolled — worked perfectly and was much more efficient.
It's surprising to hear this. We recently revised it because some users were complaining about difficulty with dragging & dropping and about the list jumping or scrolling when not intended.
To diagnose this further:
Can you tell what device type and browser you're using?
Are you able to test it on other devices/browsers too, and report?
Sorry about the delay in my reply. Regarding the drag-and-drop sorting feature. So, for me, when I click on the photo(s) and move it up or down while using the Microsoft Edge browser, it seems to function fine. But, what I was experiencing while using the Firefox browser, when you press and hold the left mouse button on the selected photo, change its location, then release the left mouse button. That particular photo you just moved is saved to the new location, but what happens is when you release the left mouse button, it also takes you to that person's profile page, rather than remaining on the edit list you've opened. However, as of right now, I am not able to move them around at all. Also, at the top I see the following: "Drag and drop could not be loaded".
Looks and works great.
