Each node has exactly one ImageField.

Now I want to allow all users (of a role) to create some kind of photo albums. They shall pick the nodes they want and create albums out of them. The presentation/themeing of the albums is not the problem. But I want them to sort the nodes in an order they like (drag & drop, for example; or via up/down buttons).

Each user shall be able to create as many albums as he likes.

I tried it with taxonomy (would love it because it's so basic and full of possibilities), but I can't find an option to allow sorting (by users).

I think an easier approach is to make a content type that represents a gallery and allows for multiple images. The user could then use drag and drop when editing a gallery to determine the order of the images.

You might also investigate Draggable Views.

Hm, this does not work for my site. Each picture has to be an own node, because it is annotated with much metadata (CCK fields).

My old approach was a free tagging vocabulary. Each tag represents an album. And users who want to create a new album had to edit the wanted nodes and add their album tag.
This had two problems:

  1. users can't sort them individually
  2. users have to edit the node to add it to a new album
