Rearranging gallery pictures/GIFs
I think I'm going to lose my mind trying to get this site to put my .gifs in the right order in new albums, so they're not all jumbled. Does anyone have any clue about how to coax it to let me arrange them?

In my experience, you need to add them in reverse order of what you want it to be on xHam. Beware that the last picture of the first upload will automatically be selected as the cover photo (i.e. the first photo you upload if you upload the photos one at a time). The cover photo can be changed later, though, and doing so automatically relocates the previous cover photo to its original position of the uploads. I have found that renaming the pictures for upload can do the trick when I upload them all at once.
For example, I have the pictures First.jpg, Second.jpg, Third.jpg and Fourth.jpg. I want the organised in the order shown. As they are named now, the would be sorted alphabetically as First.jpg, Fourth.jpg, Second.jpg, Third.jpg. If I uploaded these, they would end up in the order: Third.jpg, Second.jpg, Fourth.jpg, First.jpg, i.e. reverse order of that in the selection list (alphabetically reversed). If I rename them 4-First.jpg, 3-Second.jpg, 2-Third.jpg and 1-Fourth.jpg, they will be sorted as 1-Fourth.jpg, 2-Third.jpg, 3-Second.jpg and 4-First.jpg. After upload they will be shown in the order 4-First.jpg, 3-Second.jpg, 2-Third.jpg and 1-Fourth.jpg. Voilà.
