Yeah. Sounds like he wants a tool that lets him associate tags with images.  
Then he can tag all the photos with all the relevant attributes, then write his 
own classifier/sorted later by examining the tags.

I also suspect the OP is using the word "sort" to mean "classify" (eg "what 
sort of thing is this?") versus is more common programming meaning of 
"ordering".  Would be good to clarify that.
