Im looking for suggestions on how best to store keywords ready for Adobe uploading.

I use Lightroom / Photoshop as a combination for my editing and libraries and store the image keywords in the normal EXIF locations.  The obvious problem with this is LR always exports them in alphabetical order.  While this is fine for most stock sites it means i have to manually edit each one on Adobe upload into priority order.

My current system is a simply .txt file with a list of keywords for my common topics, sorted into priority order which i end up having to copy/paste into the website after upload.  This clearly is a messy system so im looking for advice on making this more efficient.  Im guessing nobody has yet created a LR plugin that'll populate priority order keywords into exported photos?

Bridge keeps your keywords in the order you enter them.

Thanks for mentioning https://www.keyword.io/tool/stock-photo-research, please note that the order is based on the likelihood of keywords being relevant for your query, not the sales!

In consequence, the top keywords are most likely the most generic ones, so you might want to double-check before pasting them

Nice looking site. How is it I can type in a keyword and get blank, no match, no similar, no nothing? Where do the words available come from? I mean are they harvested from sales or do you have to seed them, before the software finds the rest? Anyway, lovely design, the matching words and ability to copy is a nice treat.
