reorder() actually will now refuse to work on objects without parents, so this
won't work.

I'd prefer this one. You have the number of images in the gallery - any reason
you can't set the new order to numImages + 1?

It'd also necessitate a lot of recursion to traverse the tree. Right 
now you can
get a full tree, no matter the depth, with a constant number of queries. This
won't be changing.
