IS there a way to reorganize sequence of "Memories" for an ancestor?
Some of my ancestors--especially parents and grandparents--now have so many entries under Memories that it has become too much of a disorganized collage. How do we reorganize so that the most important memories and photos come first and the least applicable are moved to the end? I am finally working with my brothers to include stories and summaries for our parents so that future generations can easily see the most interesting and meaningful articles first.

There is no way to reorganize the Memories for a person, especially since you are most likely not the owner (contributor) of all of those Memories. You can choose how to sort them, but that is limited to the "Newest Added" (that can seem rather haphazard), "Chronological" (but that only works for those Memories where the owner has specified a date in the details for the Memory), or "Title" (but of course that depends on everyone having used some consistent naming convention, which is unlikely for items contributed by many different people).
The one way you can put Memories in precisely the order you want is to create an Album. Within an album you can include only those Memories that you consider to be important, and you can put them in exactly whatever order you want. The downside with this approach is that you would need to create a separate album for each person that you want this option for, and you can't go directly to this album from the person's Memories tab. But perhaps in spite of these challenges an album might give you the result you're looking for.

Maybe someone in my family will find a clever way to at least allow each of us to access some central set of files of albums for the upper 2nd, 3rd and 4th generations. We also are working on a better way to let grandchildren have easy access to our family stories, photos, and other memories. Thanks for your response.
