Hi Hieke, For question 2, you might like "click to enter full preview layout" icon (which is after the two XY culling icons. This icon is a rectangle with arrows pointing to the corners. It shows one image at a time as large as possible. The left-right arrows work to move through your images. Type W to exit. Is this what you want?
You can't change the order of images directly by dragging like in Lightroom. But here is a work-around. 1. Use a tag like "myAlbumn_cats" and In collections, choose tags (instead of filmroll) with the selection of myAlbum_cats. This is what marc.cabuy suggested. 2. At the top middle is "sort by" with a long list of options. If you sort by title, you could title your images "1", "2", "3" and so get the order you want. Or you could use the description field instead. 3. There is also a sort by "custom sort" which I just noticed, but I don't know how to use that. Worth looking into.
