Pond5 Shuffle.......Why ?

I do not have an extensive body of work on the site at this time.
Only around 72 clips.
Having said that, am I the only member that is severely annoyed at the wasted time while editing and each listing?
Realizing that I need to go over each clip and make changes , I decide to be smart, save time, and choose each clip in order.
You know, first clip, make change, save.
second clip,rinse,repeat
Am I a fool to expect to be taken back to the next clip in line?
I am a newbie but I like to believe that I am at the very least, a partially intelligent newbie.
Am I missing something?
A setting maybe.
I have tried holding my mouth in every position.
My jaw hurts.
Why do I have to spend so mush effort and time streamlining this process?
Why does Pond5 shuffle the list...... Every....Time?
I would much rather be in the field capturing real life as it unfolds.
Yet...here I am....looking for a clip that was just in front me.
Please do not take me as lazy.
The more time that I can spend in the field is just that much more money that Pond5 and I can make.
Please forgive the rant from a newbie.
Have not quite yet earned my Pond5 rant badge.
Kinda jumping the gun.
Just hoping to find the secret setting or maybe appeal to the decision makers here behind the Moderators desk.
Pond5 does a great job and I would not be on this platform otherwise......gratuitous booty smooch :).....but this little oversight is hard to ignore or adapt to.
Wheeew!
Made it !! :)

Hi John,
If you think selling you content at $25 HD and $50 for 4K is going to make rich think again. Pond5 has a minimum payout of $25 on the 15th of each month and $25 for HD represents $15. Sure posting video takes time and then there's the cost of internet, gas, transportation, equipment, and software to edit your content. Will you and P5 get rich off your content? Maybe. Can you make a nice extra income that'll pay for mentioned items yes in time. By the way there very few here that make sole living from selling stock footage.

Thanks for the insight guys !
No.. Jason...not attempting to get rich.
Not at all.
I own and operate a drone repair service.

Pond5 this is a second income stream.
It also helps me stay in touch with my clients with regard to piloting and filming.
Editing for me is a great challenge.
I really enjoy it.
The possibility to grab a little income while experiencing the above is a cool bonus.
I just wish that the clips I am working on would stay in order while I am working.
I am now taking a second look at my pricing.
I really wish that I could navigate to the Edit page, adjust the pricing, and then go straight back to the previous page with my clips remaining in numerical order.
That would save me a lot of time.
Considering that I am my own,

Every second saved adds up to be another guilt free beer. :)
I may very well be missing a setting.
Not a deal breaker.
Just a little wrinkle. :)
Thanks again for the input guys!
