Does it even have that relationship? Does it matter to anybody
other than some twonk from merchandising whether the blue sweater
comes before the red dress? If a list is to be used (and I don't
disagree with the use of a list in this case) then it seems to me
that an unordered list should be sufficient - unless the
aforementioned twonk insists that it's *really* important that
yellow clothes come before green ones.
As I said, I couldn't say for certain what the relationship might
be, but my guess with the example given, as it's a photo gallery
site, would be that the photographer/artist feels like the photos
should be in a certain sequence, perhaps to facilitate the telling
of a story through images. That's only a theory without any back-up
info from the original poster, but I think illustrates that there
could be occasions when adding an order to images might be important.
I think I agree, as a result of certain ponderings on the context of
this particular gallery being that of a fashion collection, and
therefore having a pretty close relationship to the idea of
presenting goods for sale. I've written about it more in my reply to
Patrick Lauke, and I'm beginning to think that the accessibility
aspect could be quite important here. Then again, I'm up very late :-)
Cheers,
Nick.
