SUMMARY DigiKam seems to sort standard by filename. When I open a folder with items from different camera's it starts for example with DSCF3079.jpg, DSCF3080.jpg, DSCF3081.jpg and then P1020205.jpg, P1020206.jpg, P1020207.jpg and so on. Then I sort the items on filedate, thats oké. But when I want to change the order of a few items for example because they have the same topic, by dragging them, I must change the order in 'Manually', only then I can change the order by dragging. Here is the problem: when I change to Manually all items are sorted again by filename! I wish they should remain in orde by filedate. Now I need to sort most items manually by filedate. Hopefully i made my point clear. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Sort by filedate; 2. Sort Manually. 3. OBSERVED RESULT When sorting Manually they don't stay sorted by filename. EXPECTED RESULT I expected they stayed sorted on filedate bacause I prefer that, but sometimes I want to have a few items in a folder by exeption not sorted on filedate but on topic.

It is easy to change the fallback of sorting to the creation date. However, if you have already used manual sorting on an album, nothing will change. But I could also imagine that other users prefer to sort by file names. For digiKam-6.0.0 we will not change the behavior. Maik
I close this bug report even though it is older, because the new bug report is clearer. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 408095 ***
Fixed with #408095 and not reproducible with 6.2.0
