Instagram Rolls Out Grid Reordering to Let Users Rearrange Profile Posts

This mobile-only tool lets creators reshape profiles to resurface older posts or group multi-part series for clearer storytelling.

Overview

  • Meta launched Grid Reordering on Monday, June 8, allowing users to long-press a post on their profile, tap "Reorder grid," and drag posts into any order.
  • The feature is available only on Instagram's mobile apps and does not work on desktop browsers.
  • Pinned posts and Reels remain fixed at the top of profiles, and Meta says there is no limit on how many times a user can reorder their grid.
  • Creators and users have praised the update for letting older posts get a second life and for making it easier to group tutorials, transformations, or serialized content.
  • The change ends the strict chronological layout that had defined Instagram profiles, a move Meta called "long overdue" and part of broader steps to give creators more control over presentation.
