but I have just noticed that SS keywords now go in alphabetical order, not the order I put them in.
Is this new? Newish? Or have I just been asleep for a long while.......?

It has been this way since I can remember.

Yeah awhile, but also you will see the order change after downloads and depending on what they might be featuring or promoting. There was some strange event where every video with Redone went to the top of the search. Shows that they can push words and alter the search rank, based on target words.
Many sites arrange as they please. AS we can set the order and it matters. Strange place this land of Microstock.
I just added a new word, it's first on the list. I can look later and see if it moved to Alpha or stayed. But just because they show Alpha, that doesn't mean the search looks at them all the same.

I believe they also change the order depending on whether buyers find them using those words. I guess its one more factor along with the algorithms that can affect sales.
