Arranging photos in Gallery

ophile

Hi-

I'm new to SmugMug and have a Pro account. I started a gallery of wedding pics and sorted them by upload time but would like to rearrange some specific photos manually. The problem is when i switch to manual arranging mode it disregards the sorting and then everything is out of order. Is there a way I can keep the sorting and manually arrange a few photos? Thanks for all the help!

Under customize gallery set sort to "none" and "ascending". Then under
"tools" "many Photos" "arrange" "sort" do your initial sort. Then arrange
individual photos.

The sort under arrange is a one time shot. New up loads will appear at the
end of the gallery.

Cannot sort (one-time) by upload time
I could not get this solution to work. I want to start with images ordered by upload time (which is the order of my photos in Lightroom collection) and then make modifications. I did the following:

* Gallery started with AutoSort set to "upload time".
* Loaded all photos. They display in the right order.
* Set AutoSort to "none", ascending. Photos are now scrambled.
* Used Tools/Arrange/Sort, and specified "digitized time". I assumed (and hoped) that this was the same as "upload time", since no "upload time" option appears. Photos are rearranged, but not according to upload time; I'm not sure what key is being used.
* Reset gallery to AutoSort "upload time". Photos are now back in the right order, but of course cannot be manually arranged.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
