Coppermine as a base for a dictionary

I just installed coppermine as a base for a dictionary on our school website. The idea is that I present for example a tool or a work process with a picture and a title and the students have to describe this with their own words by giving a comment. It would be nice to have a dictionary like sorting in categories and/or in alphabetical order of all the titles. Maybe with or without a thumbnail. You may get an idea about my request when you have a look on my site.

I am happy about each suggestion for modifying or improving my dictionary.

Would it be advisable to combine it with postnuke ? Up to now I have no experience in this.

by default coppermine sorts the thumbnails by filename, so my advice would be to just name the pics in the manner they're supposed to appear.
As another suggestion, I recommend to decrease the number of rows shown in thumbnail view, as your page takes too long to load.

If you shy away from setting coppermine up with nuke integration, you could as well take a look at the mini-cms add-on that enables you to add some other pages to your site using coppermine's theme.
