http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=32748Give the option to have all linked files in an album display at the end of the album instead of intermixed with all of the other images, at least when the "Position Descending" or "Position Acending" options are chosen.
See the linked thread for an example and discussion.
EDIT: Pastes from the original thread-
What I want:PJ friends is a linked file.(https://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi5.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fy160%2Famiyuy01%2Fother%2Fthumbnailorder-want.jpg&hash=df5d012ad52e7b5a848dbd43415516aad4ca8c07)

Perhaps this could become a feature in a future version where you could choose (either globally and/or individually per-album), if the "Position ___" option is chosen, where to put linked files within an album (beginning, end, mixed) and probably have a similar message to that which is on the "Sort my pictures" page:
The custom sort order you can specify on this page will only be taken into account if:
* the admin has set the "Default sort order for files" in the config to "Position descending" or "Position ascending" (global setting for all users who haven't chosen another sort option individually)
* the user has chosen "Position descending" or "Position ascending" on the thumbail page (per user setting)
