I run an active Facebook group for my high school alumni. I make heavy use of albums to keep the photos better organized. A popular album has the ambition of some day having at least one photo for every teacher or staff member of the school throughout the school's 100+ history. I have to manually sort the photos by people's last name. It's a tedious process but Facebook doesn't offer any alternative. You can find the album at this link:

Sometimes when you put your mind to it, you can find ways to make the process more tolerable. In this case, I recently discovered the Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts to jump to the beginning or the end of a document.
When I add a photo to the album, Facebook puts it at the end of the list. I would then have to drag it into position, wherever alphabetically it should be. If it's just one photo, not a big deal, but if I add multiple photos, that mean after sorting one photo I would have to go back to the end and drag the next photo into place. With Fn Right I can now quickly go to the bottom. When I am done with organizing all the photos, in the past I would have to scroll up a few times to get to the top of the page, where the Save button is. Now I can just use Fn Left and there it is, the Save button.
I use a Mac laptop and the Fn key is usually for modifying the F1, F2 etc keys along the top. On a desktop Mac, there may or may not be a Fn key.
