Preview-Location of merged panorama is sometimes different

[DeJogg]

Hello together,
I often make panoramas of 3-7 images.
Mostly after merging, they appear after the (lets say 3) raw-files in the previewwindow at the bottom in Lightroom. But sometimes it appears in the middle. Sometimes they appear at the end of all images.

Why is it sometimes changing and how can I correct that?

Its annoying merging a panorama and then have to scroll to the end to edit it.

Take a look at these images. They are all in the same library. I think it always changed between sessions.

Very possibly the sort order of the filmstrip (and grid view) has changed accidentally. Go to Library and, if the toolbar isn't showing above the filmstrip, do the menu command View > Show Toolbar. Then if the Sort menu isn't showing in the toolbar, click the down-arrow on the right and select Sorting:

Now, when you see that a merged panorama appears at the end of the filmstrip, has the sort order changed from what it was originally (e.g. Capture Time or File Name) to Custom Order?

Awesome, thank you so much. That was the solution!

Thanks, I will do it the correct way now.

Issue is file naming and how LrC names the resultant pano. It bases the name on the file name of the most selected photo. So, if you had 3 photos in your bracket, and the most selected was the middle one, instead of the first, the pano would use that file name to base off of.
