I'm looking to print a 9 images on one sheet as a 3x3 grid and have worked out how to set that up but if I want to swap the order of the individual images around how do I do that ? e.g say I want to move top left to middle and middle to top left

Hope I've explained this clearly & many thanks for any assistance
 
This may not be an elegant answer but....

Lightroom puts the images in the cell in the order they appear in the film strip, so if you want to change the print order then you have to change the order in the strip.

To keep things tidy, I'd put the images you want to print into a selection. The quick selection option is probably the quickest. Now make a virtual copy of them. ( select All> make virtual copy). Now remove the the originals from the selection. Now renumber the individual images with new names and numbers to reflect their position in grid.(e.g. pic 1 pic2 etc) Then sort by File Name


Then print.

As I said not elegant but workable
 
I would follow Chappers as far as the quick collection, but then I'd just drag and drop the film strip into the order I want, much easier...
 
Would have to agree with Crikeybaby about that, forgot about the " User Order" option in the sort parameters.That way you can put the images in whatever order you want.Plus drag and sort in the print option.

Well back to editing the images from last weeks shoot!!
 
Thanks very much for your help on this guys - I'd forgotten you can just drag and drop to change order
