4th paragraph from bottom of page (the one that starts "But it works.")

This isn't an error, but rather an addition/clarification the author and I would like to make (so please consider this an approved errata):
If there's room, please tack this sentence onto the end of the paragraph: "However, you may have to do a lot of manual reorganizing."

Thanks!

Says command [ability] to Sort Photos>Manually only works in Albums, not in Events or Photos.


This seems to be at variance with the actual and described (pg 39) situation vis a vis Events & Photos:
In Photos, when Event Titles are shown, you can indeed sort an Event's photos by Manual and all other criteria (date, rating, etc.) and this is reflected in the View menu:
Sort photos>[the list] and the choice of Ascending or Descending.

And in Events: you can move the piles around, disturbing their order into a Manual distribution or Date or Title (Ascending or Descending also available).
