Question Managing albums

Does anyone else find uploading pictures to albums incredibly tedious? I think I must be doing it wrong because seven mouse clicks for each file seems to me a less-than-optimal user interface. If I try and speed things up by doing more than one at a time the PHP script adds them in a random order. I've also tried copy-and-pasting filenames into the 'file to upload' boxes, but I can't get that to work.

Seems to me it would be much easier just to ftp them all in one go into some temporary filespace and then move them into the appropriate album using something similar to the album.php?do=editpictures page.

While I'm on the subject, is it possible to change the order in which pictures appear, either manually or by automatically sorting on a more sensible criterion than reverse order of upload?

Any hints and tips or other advice gratefully received.
