API Request - Set Image Position on Upload

Hello,
I'm working on implementing multi-threaded photo uploading to SmugMug in my software application. One small problem with this is that, depending on which photo finishes uploading first, the position the photos appear in the gallery will not be correct. For example:
- User initiates upload of 4 photos (photo 1, 2, 3, & 4)
- Application starts upload of all 4 photos simultaneously
- Upload completes for photo 3, then 1, then 4, then 2. As a result, these photos show in the online gallery in that order rather than in the order photo 1, 2, 3, 4
I know it is possible to make a separate call to smugmug.images.changePosition, but that would require a separate API call for each image uploaded. If the API could just accept an additional parameter (Position) on upload, that would solve this issue completely (assuming SmugMug's database uses an ordinal position number for each image).
Also, in general, I was wondering if a new Sticky Thread could be added to this Forum for API feature requests, much like the "SmugMug Feature Requests" thread under "SmugMug Support" Forum. Maybe it could be called "SmugMug API Feature Requests".
Thanks
