Is the order of photos in a coffee table book really always so
significant?
Would it become a different work, if the order were rearranged?

Also, does talking about the "order" of files in a CD-ROM make sense?
The order of bits does not matter much, from the user's point of view,
since it is masked by the file-system, which is however visible to the
user as a tree-like data structure, which, in its turn, does not have a
unique visiting order...
