i have a question to those people who figured out how to rank images in the gallery...

i've been looking over at different methods of ordering; the first that came to mind was spaceinthewho's suggestion of a system used on yahoo with a dropdown menu (there's an image in her gallery here).

this is a pretty useful system, but it requires that people input image names for each file. and you don't know what image looks like what... but it works pretty nice.

then i've got the current system that uses the "input a number" system. it's a helluva lot more annoying, but it works a little better (faster to quickly organize the images if you know what you're doing).

i'm leaning towards implementing both - the dropdown menu seems a bit more user-friendly.

thoughts?
