order within a group when selecting multiple images?

[Maik Qualmann]

When selecting multiple files for grouping, the smallest file size is always 
used as the leader image to ensure a quick preview.
Otherwise, group them individually, then the leader image can be determined.
We have a bug report about making this configurable by file type.
