Ordering Keywords after Upload

I have just finished ordering keywords by individual image file for a group of 28 images. The same keyword order could have been used for all the images but I cannot find a way to update the order globally. Why can't we address the keyword order for several images at one time instead of one at a time?

Hi,

if you want to avoid this problem, I advise you to tag your pictures in Adobe Bridge. Here the keywords are taken over in your defined order during the upload and you save yourself the additional work of the subsequent sorting of the keywords.

If I understand you correctly, you want to add keywords for all the images at the same time?  On the upload page you can add the same keywords for all the images, by selecting them all - CMD or CTRL and just add your keywords accordingly.

No. The keywords are imported, in alphabetical order because that's how Lightroom orders them, with the images. The tedious part is changing the order so that the more important ones are on top. Adobe Stock wants them in order of importance - at least for the first few - and that has to be done on a single image at a time. If I only used Adobe Stock, I could put the keywords in after import, but other agencies have other requirements and keywords also help organize Lightroom so my images are imported with keywords that have to be re-ordered to fit Adobe Stock's requirements.
