Getting PrintCreator to work on SORTED list of images?

[Rik Belew]

hi just digging into digikam, and finding it a very solid
piece of work; well done all!

i've used a tag to pull together an album that I want to
turn into a picture book.  PrintCreator seems like it might
make a useful tool for that.  (If this workflow is common
for others, perhaps there has been previous posts to
the Users list?  I haven't found any.)


There is a chronology to the images that the
	View ‣ Sort Images  ‣ Creation Date
respects.  But when I use PrintCreator over the
album, it comes out in some other (random?) order.

i'm not great at C++, but trying to track this down
I find iteration over a QMap:

	QMap<int, int>::iterator it = d->indexMap.find(key);

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blame/master/core/dplugins/generic/tools/printcreator/tools/atkinspagelayout.cpp?ref_type=heads#L85

is there some way to modify this iterator, or otherwise
have PrintCreator do what I want?

Thanks for any hints,

	Rik
