Hi Stephan,

If you haven't checked out collections, then you have indeed missed
something.  They require absolutely no effort to make, you can run a
slideshow on one, and they work pretty much as you are asking for (i.e.,
drag-and-drop to set the order).

Don't know about the other points.

HTH,
Bob
