I wish I could change that within the current user interface, however
that behavior is baked in the cake.
I'll have to modify the underlying code to make it work the way you
suggest.
In fact I build my html web pages that way, but in other ways they
aren't nearly as flexible.
I'm still learning the tricks to getting the most out the current
interface, and I need to look at the code in more depth to figure out if
the changes can be made in the skin or need to be made deeper which
unfortunately may be beyond what the developers allow.

I haven’t used jalbum at all, so can’t help with technical details. I do have a
question/suggestion concerning the user interface however. Assuming this is
something you can change and isn’t a feature/bug of jalbum…
Specifically, I clicked on your Street and More… collection, started scaling
through using the Right Arrow at the top. [By the way, I like that the arrow
doesn’t move around, is fixed at the top rather than being at the edge of the
current image.] So I get to the last image in in the collection, and Right
Arrow unexpectedly took me to the first image in a different collection,
Portraits. I would have thought that it would either cycle me back to the first
image in the current collection or to the next-higher-level index.
Ok, so now I go to the last of the Misc images, click on the Right Arrow, it
takes me into the Birds. OK, same as above. Then I get to the last of the
Birds, pause to admire the shot, click on the arrow and nothing happens. It
doesn’t take me to an Index, to the first in the collection, to the first in
the first collection - Landscape. Nada, zip. The inconsistency is disturbing
and the lack of response is more disturbing. If nothing else, could you delete
or grey out the non-functional arrow?
If you can do it within the album feature set, my recommendation would be to
have your arrows at the top always cycle within the current set. Left Arrow on
the first in a collection would take you to last in the collection, Right
Arrow on the last would cycle back to the first… You have the Up Arrow to go
back to the Index, and I think it is not unreasonable to force people to use
that.
As you have it now, you have one large collection with an index which points
not to different “folders” or collections, but rather to the start point for a
new topic within the continuous stream. Issues of user interface aside, I would
think that the way you have it now it would be difficult to add an image e.g.
to Street without screwing up the linkages left and right.

Ok, so I've uploaded a few more images and created another new sub category.
This is probably where this one will stay until I learn how to do more stuff. Such as
make the sub sub category in "Birds" come after the rest of the images.

Anyway if you're interested in a trip down memory lane and want to make
constructive comments, and maybe give me a hint on what I need to do to get
that sub sub category to show up last...
