Lightroom Collections Out of Order Online?

When I create a collection in Lightroom and make it public the photos are out of order when I look at them online. Does anyone know how to fix this or reorder them when viewing them online?

Thanks

The only way I've figured out how to do this and have them stay in that order regardless of how things are later adjusted, is to go to the Collection, and rename then in the Collection. This does mean that these names will be different than the the rest of the items from the folder that they came from.

 

Then, in the Lightroom web, sort by name, not by date.

 

I do wish they'd let us sort the images and then provide an option to save those sort settings that can be accessed from the same dropdown menu that provides sort by name & date, it would then provide name, date, and "my favorite sort."

Seems like gary_sc has provided a solution for johnc.

Unless a much better solution appears, I've marked this strategy / workaround as appropriate and therfore correct.
