Did I really just alphabetize my roses?

Some people alphabetize their books on their bookshelves.

Some people wonder if it was the book titles or the authors that were alphabetized... because they're wondering which way to do it themselves. Others know that it's by author first and then book title. Yet others feel that it should be by author and then date of publication... 

... and that is one true sign of insanity.

But I just alphabetized the roses on my Flickr set. Does this put me a step closer to insanity than anyone with an organized bookshelf?

It's not as bad as it sounds, really. I was "pruning" my roses. My photographs have gotten better over the years, so I do occasionally remove some of the older, less appealing photos. Then I noticed an option to "alphabetize" the set of photos in one of the menus, so I chose it. Simple, really. Not that insane.

Of course, then I went and changed the titles on some of the roses so that they would sort properly. And "alphabetized" them again. That may have been the step over the line to insanity.

Then I had to fix the blog entry that was muddled from the reorganizing in Flickr.

No, I'm not trying to avoid doing other things that really need doing. Honest.
