Is it possible to have a single picture appear twice in a single album at different positions?

    Yes it can be done but you need to create a duplicate. Select your thumbnail and go to the Organizer menu and choose:

    File >> Export As New Files

    Save a copy to your pictures folder or wherever you prefer. Go to your folder after export and re-name the file. I usually add -2 to the original name. Then import into Organizer and drag it into your album. If you set the sort order to “Album Order” you can drag each image into a fixed position. See images below.

    Thanks for your  answer, 99jon. I understand that I might solve my problem by creating one or more duplicates. And I'm willing to believe that duplicates might be the only solution. The reason that I would like to circumvent duplicates and would like to have a single picture/single file is that duplicates may, in the future, diverge by editing at a later stage. If I edit one of the twins (and forget that I'm dealing with twins), they are no longer twins, if you know what I mean. They then are two different files.

    I know what you mean but I don’t know of any other method. It is possible to have the same image in multiple albums but not multiple times in the same album.
