Well a list has a top down order order by definition. So images listed in the
navigator are sorted anyhow. So it's not clear what you want to convey by
optional.

I don't necessary intend to insert some sort filter with various options. More
the adjust the default logic to make it more predictable. In similar fashion as
in Writer. Arranging images by insertion time a large spreadsheet with lots of
images (>50) simply random. Same as image creation time. Or sorting by
filename. You have filename if insert with Insert -> Image, in case of copy
paste you get something like: image27. I don't expect people to be really
conscious about image file names in general. Look the sample document.

Row by row seems to more sensible. So first image A1, next image in B1,
2C..followed by row 2, column A; A2; B2; C2. This makes the arrangement at
least predictable. This use-full results for non-complex spreadsheets with
where one column being filled with images (like example), which I think being a
rather common use-case. The current order in unproductive in any case, IMHO.

What might work is an alternative view option listing the images visible in the
view port. This is useful if images being distributed across plenty of columns
on the same row; however not sure of need for it. Seems a bit excessive.
