- It seems that this is not possible (any more), Diane.
The recipient of a shared link can change the view of the files, as in whether they want them to appear in a grid, or a list, etc.
They can't rearrange them, though.

Thank you in advance for any help!

Yes, and the grid vs list selection does not stick. Every time I open a folder of videos shared with me, it shows in grid mode and I have to change it. Every time.
