you can change the stacking order at any time at erward.

Filters and stacks
When i lters are applied (see later in this chapter), unl agged and unrated images
within a stack won't show, which can really cause confusion. To avoid this, make sure
all the photos in a stack are marked with the same attributes (discussed later in this
chapter).

Changing the order of images within the stack
To change the order of images within the stack you must i rst expand it. Click the
photo count badge or the two thin lines at the right edge of the top image in the
stack. Use the arrow keys to select the image you want to reposition and use the stack
contextual menu commands or the shortcuts to move the image within the stack.
