P: Custom sort order of keywords (instead of alphabetic).

Without downloading mylio I found a comment regarding keywording on the mylio site that indicated keyword searches must be in alphabetical order.  I asked the question of mylio about using keywords with images in mylio set in order of relevance to the individual image.  I will report back their reply.

I recently had a pop up survey while in Lightroom or on the Adobe site that asked if I would recommend Lightroom to others.  My reply was to give Lightroom a single star (BAD LIGHTROOM!), out of five, and a direct, succinct explanation that I would NEVER recommend Lightroom to any one under any circumstances as long as the keywording is set to a default of reordering all keywords alphabetically.  Further, I requested the ability to set a custom arrangement of the keywords based on relativity or what ever I require for submission to stock houses I work with, that will remain and not be defaulted to alphabetical by Lightroom upon closing or opening of  Lightroom.

Now we got a brand new Lightroom Classic CC but still only alphabetic sort order for keywords..........it ́s  been four years since this request came up and still no response from Adobe!

C'mon Lightroom. It is now over 2 years that people have been asking to control their own keywording. A simple toggle - alphabetical or user defined. Please.

I concur that forced alphabetizing of keywords should not be mandatory.  In my case, I have scanned approximately 1500 historical family photographs, and list the people in the images from left to right in the MS Word table that I have used to capture the information.  I want the keywords to be listed in same order, so future viewers can correctly associate a name with each person.  Perhaps there is a way to trick LR by assigning sequential letters of the alphabet to major keyword headings and use punctuation that LR does not recognize as a keyword separator to separate the names under each heading (assuming such punctuation exists). 

Yes, this is really annoying! Keywords first entered in correct order in Lightroom . Then Lightroom scrambles them in alphabetic order and after upload to adobe stock they demand them to be set in priority order......... what the........

Now Adobe's own stock submission program *requires* a custom sort order, they made an official Lightroom plugin that uploads to that stock site, but they still did not make it possible to have a custom sort order in Lightroom so every submission from Lightroom to Adobe Stock has to have all the keywords reordered again after upload? Ugh.

This is a highly relevant question! How can Adobe Stock require relevant order of keywords and on the other hand only sort them alphabetical in Lightroom?
Agree that it is a lot of dubbel work when uploading to agencies.
Is there a solution in sight from Adobe?
