Title:
Option to sort icons after upload

Area:
icons

Summary:
I would like to be able to arrange what order icons appear in on the upload icon and profile-display icon pages

Description:
I don't always upload icons of similar content at the same time, which means when I go to look at them later (for instance, to see which ones have already been uploaded so I don't upload the same icon twice), I have to scroll through all of them to find the one I want. It would be much easier for me if I could put the icons in some sort of order or tell them to display by groups--say, all my text icons together, all my Star Wars icons together, etc. That way it would be easier to know what was there at a glance.

There's a bug open to sort icons by keyword (Bug 1433), but being able to sort by description as well could also be useful.

More than description, even, also category. I can imagine wanting to see all my animated icons, or all my icons taken from comics (any comic) - logically neither the keyword nor description would be accurate.

What would be really cool: the ability to 'categorize' an icon into multiple categories. Somewhere on my icons page, a list of the categories as links, to pages that show just that category. (Possibly user option whether categories are public, possibly always public; I don't really care.) This would also let me link people to, for example, the "icons I am willing to share" category. Or just things I'm proud of. Or whatever.

Something like this. Yes!

[susanreads]

Oh, an "icons I'm willing to share" category! What a great idea! I don't want to break in on conversations about something else to say "I covet your icon, is it shareable?", but if there was an easy way to check, that would be cool.

Love it.

Sorting by keyword ... Oh yes please.... I wanted that kind of sorting since forever (or at least a few years)

[jeeps]

i have wanted this for so, so long. my dream is just a simple drag & drop. please make it so.

I should say that if you end up doing this as a "sort icons by tag/keyword" type thing, I want to make sure that there's an option to only use one keyword that goes in the drop-down menu to choose an icon when posting--I have way to many icons to have to scroll through multiple keywords per icon.
