without moving the original images from their Folders and/or duplicating the images on the hard drive.
I would create a Collection and add my favorite image(s) from each shoot to the Collection in order to create a custom sort order, sync with Lightroom mobile, show to a client, post on my portfolio etc. For example, I might have twenty Folders, each one containing landscapes from different location shoots. A Folder will typically hold all of the images from a specific shoot, client, or date for example, whereas a Collection is used to combine groups of images together “virtually”. Most photographers use a combination of Folders and Collections to organize their images in Lightroom Classic.
