Looking for some advice here. I have a large set of old slides (transparencies) which I'm currently scanning for the family, but of course many of them are out of order. Clearly they don't have EXIF information (they were taken in the 70s and 80s). I'm looking for a way to order them *visually* after scanning, but the usual apps (Digikam, Shotwell, Lightroom) don't seem to be able to do this. They only understand machine-readable sorting, e.g. by the file mod date, size, exposure data etc., none of which is useful in this case.
Any ideas?

I think the buzzword for searching for software is "gallery," and most of them are web-based. I use pwigo (www.pwigo.orgorg ), which has a manual sort option (though you have to dig in a little to find it).
It's actually piwigo, but thanks. I'll take a look.
But if you're not serving a web page somewhere, I don't know. There's always the Wikipedia page to sort through, I guess, though I don't find that useful as often as I hope: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparis on_of_photo_gallery_software
I'm already using Google Photos, which I suppose counts as a gallery, but it can get a bit slow when dealing with large batches so I generally use it for sharing the final results. My idea was to find a tool to process photos locally before uploading them. I'll check out that Wikipedia page in any case.
