Copying images from manully sorted albums to new album needs to retain that manual sequence

What problem do you see this solving?

Use case: I work a lot with albums where I use manual sorting, e.g. for printouts or books. Sometimes I need a subset of those images (or all images) in black and white or in a different crop ratio. So I am creating a new album and use select, drag-and-drop those images to the newly created album.However, that operation destroys my manual sort order which is very annoying. I need to retain the manual order the images had in the source album. It seems like the default sorting in a new album is by date.

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?

Well, maybe 1 or 2 time per month.

Current workaround

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?

No real workaround possible :-(

The only solution is change the order in the destination album to the same of the source album. This can be awkward, tedious and boring.Switch back and forth between albums, and strain your eyes to re-establish the desired sequence.
