I just installed LrC 10 and when I went to add images to a target collection, I get the following error: ?:0: attempt to compare two nil values.  This is really holding me up organizing my photo book.  Please help.

Try setting Quick Collection's sort order to something other than Custom.

By accident, I found a fix to this problem. I delete all the images in the Quick Collection. Then turned on another collection to be the targeted collection and then right-clicked on the Quick Collection to set it again as the target collection. Now the B puts selected images into the Quick Collection
