P: When trying to add files to Collections I get this error: ?:0: attempt to compare two nil values

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.

Same error here with my Lightroom 10.

I'm getting just the same error message when I try to move images to some collections -  but so far mercifully not to all. It's a damn nuisance - when will they fix it? Also, I've had a couple of unexpected unwanted shutdowns.

A workaround that's helped several so far: Select the problem collection and do View > Sort to change its sort order to something other than Custom Order.

Very useful mitigation. Should be highlighted at the top. Thanks.
