I'm using Outlook for e-mailing. When I export to e-mail selected photos from L.R. Classic the selected photos are changing the order and always overturn the order. The first selected photo becomes last on the e-mail and the last becomes firs although the number are consecutive. Any idea to solve this issue will be appreciated.

Computers have not concept of defined order. Files are placed in random available segments on the disk. Collecting those file in an app like Lightroom, it is Lightroom that determines the order. Usually there is a default order. Often the user can determine which element is used for sorting (File Name, Capture Date, etc) and used an element that is not the default.

Outlook is no different. MAPI is a messaging system that is used by Microsoft Outlook and Exchange for email, contacts, etc. MAPI is used to embed images in an email. It is MAPI that determines the order that images are placed in the Outlook email message. I don't know of a method to control the sort order in a MAPI compliant email app.
