Lightroom keyword order after exporting

Question

Hello! Is there any way I can have a hierarchically keyword order after exporting like I have inside lightroom? For example Countries > USA > New York. And I have only give the image the keyword New York. In the exported file I would also have the two keywords above (Countries, USA) but mixed up with all the other keywords that were given to this image. I want that they are in this "Countries > USA > New York" exact order in the properties of the exported file. Any way to do this?

If there is no way to do this, is there a way to edit all the keywords that have "Countries" as the keyword above them and give them for example any kind of letter? So for example I would give them the letter C and it would be "C USA", "C Canada" and further?

There's no way in LR to control the order of keywords exported into industry-standard keyword fields, unfortunately. You can suppress the export of containing keywords (e.g. USA) entirely, but not change their order.

Re adding "C" as a prefix to all country keywords, you could do that with the Metadata Wrangler plugin, though it might require a small bit of scripting.
