P: Move Photo Stacks Between Collections as a Group

Dear Lightroom Team,

I would like to request a feature that would make working with photo stacks much more efficient.

Example:
In my workflow, I have a panorama stack in the collection path:
Travel → Destination → RAW

After I stack the panorama (group) and perform color correction, I want to move the entire group of 9 photos to a new collection:
Travel → Destination → Edited

Currently, Lightroom only allows moving photos individually, which breaks the stack. This means that if I have a panorama stack or any group of images, I have to manually move each photo, then restack them in the new collection.

Suggested Improvement:
It would be very helpful to have the option to move the entire stack as one unit between collections—without breaking it. For example, pressing CTRL (or CMD) + mouse drag could move the full stack instead of just individual files.

This would be useful not only for panoramas, but also when returning edited images from Photoshop back into Lightroom Classic (which often creates new stacks). Having the ability to move stacks intact between collections would make the workflow much faster and more organized.

Thank you for considering this improvement.

Kind regards,

Ilja
