Not at this point but it is a behavior we've identified for future  
functionality for the Image Gallery.  It's not a timeline or  
scheduled in a future phase but is a known need.

This is very similar to the kind of need we've seen during research  
for the Image Gallery.   We watched a few instructors creating their  
image-centric lectures on traditional lightboxes.  The first thing  
they do is start putting slides in several piles.  Then the piles got  
filtered and rearranged before they got to the stage of actually  
laying out the image by image lecture.  The latter stage "laying out  
the image by image lecture" is  the piece supported by the Image  
Gallery at this point.

Thanks for sharing!  I've added this to the Image Gallery Future  
Phase Requirements list on the wiki (not a complete list):   http://
