When I go to export my images from lightroom the custom order of my images from my collection rearrange. This has now happened on several occasions. I have downloaded the latest CC version of lightroom and still no fix.

Are you renaming in the Export dialog to give a Sequence number to the exported images?

Rename something like-  {Sequence_Filename}  or {Sequence_Custom Name}.

You can use different sort options in the OS of course!

My test with images exported was successful-

My Custom sort in a Collection:

The result in Windows File explorer using {Sequence-Filename}

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.3, Photoshop 27.5, ACR 18.3, Lightroom 9.3, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.3 .

I'm aware I can use different file sequences...


Problem is with wedding photography and using two different cameras the time sequence or 'capture time' doesn't always work so I have to manually shuffle around images, then making it a 'custom order'.

I am exporting as a sequence eg. filename_1.. filename_2 etc. so the filenaming isn't the issue.

Lightroom is reordering some images, more so the 'vitual copies' but now it's happening with the images I've manually shuffled.

Hope that makes sense.
