I'm using HF 4.2.9 on one machine and evaluating HF 6.6.1 on another. I manually focus Hasselblad lenses and occasionally will misfocus in sequence. Rare but it does happen. In 4.2.9 I can manually reorder the files, for example I shot files where the middle of 15 exposures are ....10cm, 14 cm, 12cm.... In 4.2.9 I could just move the 10cm file two places down in line and render correctly. In 6.6.1 I have to rename the files to the proper order in the Finder and reimport them into the programb again or reshoot all 15 exposures.

Yes, this function is not implemented in Focus 6. We've added it to the to-do list.

Any progress on this issue? Macy*s cant upgrade until it is implemented.

No, not yet, sorry.

Has there been any progress on this in the last 8 years? I don't see the ability to manually reorder the image stack in version 8.2.

There's no such ability, the files are sorted alphabetically based on their file name. It's not currently planned, but I noted down your request.

If the focal plane shift between consecutive shots is a lot smaller than the depth of field, which is often the case, you can just un-tick the wrong files to remove them from stacking. Or edit the name so that the file slots in where it belongs.
