Hello,
For my first 2 galleries I used filename numbering so that it comes in the required order into the gallery after uploading. I had therefore to keep auto sort set on filename with ascending number. After a little while I wanted to change the order of a few photos. Then I realized it had trapped me into complete inability to rearrange anything. When I set Auto Sort to None, my photos where badly reshuffled and I had to painstakingly rearrange almost all one by one. When I left Auto Sort to Filename, any local rearranging I did after checking 'arrange mode' was lost as soon as I browsed through gallery pages, without getting any warning I would loose my time.
Really, rearranging photos is a poor (or nut-) case on SmugMug. Please fix this urgently. I suggest implementing an extra option for Auto Sort : None But Keep Image Order As Is Now. That should not be very difficult to do for the programmers.
