Sorting manually a collection of pictures

[tosca]

The question is not strictly related to Digikam, but I thought some of you could have provide an answer.

I'm in the process of creating a photos book with 200-300 photos.
I have exported to an external folder all the pictures among which I will make a final choice.
Now, I need to "play", sort and arrange them, in order to provide a good sequence for the book. This has nothing to do with an automatic sorting order; I would like to choose and move manually each photo in order to get a definite order, before getting them in Scribus for desktop publishing.

Do you know any tool that can provide such a function; something like drap & drop the thumbnails, then save the manual order?

By the way, I'm running Linux, so neither a Windows/Mac-only will do.

Thanks for your answers,
Marie-Noëlle

That's the idea for the drag and drop part.
But will I have to open/load the photo one by one ?
And I was hoping the tool could rename the .jpg files afterwards in some sequential order, so I could work from Scribus with photos in the final order.

If you initially set the photos up as an Open Office Presentation ...
slide show ... there is a sorting function that allows you to easily
drag images from one location to another to improve your flow.
