digiKam: Added the possibility to manually sort the digiKam icon view
digiKam has the possibility to sort the items in the icon view according to different criteria, for example by: name, date, file size, rating etc. Many digiKam users have long been wishing to manually sort the icon view. The bug report (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91562) now has more than 700 votes. The goal of this project is to rearrange the sorting of items in the icon view by drag and drop. This sort must be stored in the database and must be retrievable like the other sort functions.
