[Digikam-users] Does no one ever want "custom order" in an album?

[Chris G]

Yet again I have come up against this problem.  :-)   It really
surprises me that no one else seems to want to be able to do this sort
of thing (not just Digikam, I can't find anything else that does it
either). 

I want to select pictures randomly from various places (i.e. from
various different Digikam albums) and place them in a new album in a
specific order which has nothing to do with their dates, alphanumeric
file name or anything of that sort (no pun intended!).

*Surely* people want to be able to do this.  Currently in my case it's
simply because I have taken two sets of photographs of the same trip,
one lot in one direction and the other lot in the opposite direction.
I want to collate a set of pictures of the trip in 'geographic' order
from the best images selected from the two albums.  I can't find any
way of doing this apart from laboriously renaming each image as I
select it and even then if I change my mind I've got a horrible
re-ordering problem again.
