Maintaining upload order

[dreaquil]

My actions before raising this issue

• Read/searched the docs
• Searched past issues

Expected Behaviour

I would like to be able to maintain the job list order in which I upload my images. If this is not possible, can you point me to the area of code that does the lexicographical ordering of the job list/segments please? The reason I want to do this is a comparative annotation experiment which requires random reordering.

Current Behaviour

Currently, these are being sorted by the file name.

@dreaquil Hi, https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/cvat/blob/develop/cvat/apps/engine/media_extractors.py#L52. Image order management is not supported at this time.

Looks like your question was answered, so, I will close the issue. If you believe it is a feature request, please provide more details about different use-cases and possible solutions. Right now I don't see a lot of requests to support image randomization. Do not hesitate to reopen the issue if necessary.
