Structured keywords is listed alphabetically
« on: August 25, 2023, 02:14:02 AM »
Hi For some time i have used PM plus for keywording my images. I use structured keywords. But, in other software they are always listed alphabeticall, the hierarchy is lost. This is with DXO photolab, GeoSetter or Windows properties. Is there a setting I have missed or perhaps selected the wrong alternative?

The IPTC/XMP standard is that keywords and hierarchical keywords are an unordered list (bag).  Some programs take the unordered list and sort them.  There is no way for Photo Mechanic to control what other apps do with the unordered list.
