P: Custom Order lost with slight accidental movement of thumbnail in filmstrip

Pardon ......  Photos are exported from LR with a specific and relevant filename.  Why would I want to rename in LR prior to exporting, just to keep the image order ??  

And I do think Adobe have not taken Wacom users seriously when looking into this issue

@74350 is still moves to custom order, doesn't solve anything.

Lightroom might revert to Custom Order even if you have sort by Filename so it wouldn't solve the issue.  Also, renaming all your files seems like an extreme workaround when the easier workaround is to just check the sort on return from Photoshop.  It doesn't happen to everyone and appears random to the ones that is does so I am sure it is a difficult bug to solve.

Curious, why has no one with the issue simply altered their file naming workflow to rename the photos using the syntax:

YYYYMMDD_hhmmss

And sort by filename, never capture time. Photos edited in PS will still have, perhaps, metadata capture time issues, but that would not effect your sort.

Me too.... had it for last couple of years at least . The intermittency of it drives me nuts. Come on Adobe ... sort it.  I have a old Wacom attached but never us it. Have tried disconnecting it and problem persists.
We pay a subscription fee and this sort of thing should have been fixed years ago !!. Any body tell me where I can change the sort back to file order rather than capture?

I agree entirely, very very frustrating. I too am waiting for the Affinity companion, I already have Affinity. Capture one came close but I rejected it because it lacked sufficient export functions. OnOne was strong contender but performance and again export functions were not good enough.

Even when I have custom order set and take a round trip - edit in photoshop and save and go back to lightroom the picture and its new linked edit jump to the back. Highly frustrating and slows workflow.

Side note after an above comment about why Adobe doesn't seem to care about this issue  - I have friends pushing me to move to work in capture one, I have others telling me Affinity is soon going to be companioned with its version of a lightroom type programme currently under development.

I am highly tempted especially because while powerful I always seem to be waiting for lightroom no matter how far I upgrade my hardware. Task manager isn't showing any core, ram or disk on close to full capacity yet I'm still waiting for lightroom!

Argggg Rant over.

I use Wacom, I use Genius. I don't use any photoshop plugins - i do rely on sorting and editing many photos and need to do this quickly... The jumping is frustrating if there are 1000 photos in a folder/collection from a wedding etc.

Hello John, I do have logitech software running at the background. I cannot disable it because my keyboard is also from Logitech. LOL.

I was wondering for a long time why my sort order changed at random.  Thanks John McNairn.  This should be an easy fix for Adobe if they can be convinced it is an issue.
