SUMMARY When choosing View -> Sort Items -> By Manual they are immediately sorted by name in Thumbs view STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have some pictures from different sources (camera, Phone, ..) which have names started by different letter (see attachments) 2. View -> Sort Items -> ¸By Creation Date 3. View -> Sort Items -> By Manual OBSERVED RESULT When I do the point 3. from above all the pictures are automatically rearranged and sorted by filename. For example: IMG_*** files from my phone are all displayed before P***** files from my camera. To test this I renamed one of the pictures and again the sorting "jumps" to filename. EXPECTED RESULT I would like to see that after choosing manual sort the pictures' sorting order stays as it was before. I found it very inconvenient to re-sort manually pictures that were made by different devices and have different names, especially when there are a lot of them. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: KDE Frameworks 5.57.0 Qt Version: Qt 5.12.3 (built against 5.12.3) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I would also like to add something to wishlist: would it be possible (in some future version of digiKam) to choose sorting method also for individual albums - one sorted by date, another one by manual?

Git commit bff98bd59077ad6e740f5d32654678bf1071e2cf by Maik Qualmann. Committed on 31/05/2019 at 20:05. Pushed by mqualmann into branch 'master'. use creation date as fallback for manual item sort I think it's the best choice for most users. Using the last sort option also creates an opaque behavior. This does not affect views that have already been sorted manually.
