All Actions in the Action List are applied to the items in the Selection List taking into account how the latter is sorted. There are various ways to sort items in the Selection List, including sorting by filename and by all tags.

You can move the selected items up or down in the Selection List using the Manual Sorting mode (the buttons
and
