Adding new photos at the beginning of the album

Hi Guys,

as the conservative dinosaur I migrated from G1 to G2 only several weeks ago. Although there are many very useful features, I miss the one I used in G1: ability to configure that newly added photos are added at the beginning of the album instead of at the end. Is it possible?

I know that I can set "Sort Order" for an album to Creation Date/descending or Last Changed Data/descending, what in most cases would put new photo at the beginning, but this is not a solution as it will change the existing photos order.

I've found the same question asked almost 3 years ago, with no answer however (http://gallery.menalto.com/node/75483).

Here is my system info:

Thanks in advance,

Yes, but this will also influence order of all photos in the album, won't it?

I like to sort photos in an album manually, usually I put new photos in the beginning of the album, but some of them I want to have in specific order. Thus setting any automatic sorting for the whole album won't work. In G1 I could sort item manually, but also set all newly added photos at the beginning.

OK, I know I can reaarange pictures. The thing is I don't want to do this each time I add new photo, to move it from the end to the beginning (which I have to do now).

Is there any other method for new photos to be added by default to the beginning of the album, while all other photos in this album stay arranged in the same order, as they were before adding new photo?

Example: I have 5 photos, A, B, C, D and E. I change their order manually to: A E D B C - no automatic sorting. They I add a new photo, named F. In the current behaviour it will appear at the end, i.e. album order will be A E D B C F. In my previous G1 I had a setting that will add new photo at the beginning, i.e. after adding new photo, without any manual rearrangement, the order would be F A E D B C.
