Can't drag and drop pictures to rearrange anymore

I used to be able to manually drag and drop photos within one folder to rearrange them (and then select all and rename), for example when you've got photos from 3 different cameras. 

This function is not working (anymore) in Windows File Explorer (Win8.1). 

Who knows how to fix / restore this drag and drop function?

Hi,

Please check following registry key changes.

Note Before doing this, please export the registry key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\] for backup.

Then, copy the following text into Notepad and rename it as fix.reg, then double click to run it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell\{B3690E58-E961-423B-B687-386EBFD83239}] "FFLAGS"=dword:43000001 "Mode"=dword:00000004

Then, pictures in newly created folders can now be sorted.
