Of course you can completely edit the order in Photoshop if you want.
If you only order the keywords of the files you upload instead of all
the files then you can use File>File Info... and from the IPTC Content
page you can then re-order the keywords, they are stored in a ";"
separated list and the ordering is preserved. At least in the
short-term that would solve the problem for 10s of images. For 100s of
images it would be a total pain and a drag and drop solution in a list
format would be easier. Not to mention having the program use your own
initial suggested sorts as a jumping off place.
