Description Klaus 2023-10-29 09:31:11 UTC 
SUMMARY
***
HTML-Export, order of <collection>s in <collections> seames undefined
***

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Goto HTML Export
2. Select some folders in same parent folder
3. start export 
4. check Gallery.xml

OBSERVED RESULT
Order of <Collection>s in <Collections> is not clear. It changes from day to day :-(
In yesterdays call to DigiKam it appears in alphabetical order of the folder names. (And I was happy ...)
Today the order is:
<collections> 
  <collection> <name>01_Kapitel Charly</name> ... </collection>
  <collection> <name>00_Einleitung</name> ... </collection>
  <collection> <name>03_Kapitel Delta</name> ... </collection>
  <collection> <name>02_Kapitel Anton</name> ... </collection>
</collections> 
I have no idea why. (And I am confused ...)

EXPECTED RESULT
Order of <collection>s in <collections> is clearly defined. By default it should be alphabetically sorted by folder names.
... at least I'm interested in any work around.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS 20.04 (x86_64)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
... correct component selection above is unclear to me - but I have to select any ...
