I'm affraid I didn't get what you want to do :
The 'OrderType'  is *not* a characteristics of a Serie .
The user, depending on what *he* knows, decides to ask gdcm to perform a 
given job on a given Serie.
The job may be 'dropping some images' according to a given crierion, or 
'splitting the Serie' depending on a given criterion.
The same serie may be slipped different ways, depending on what user 
wants to do :
If he has a 'spatio-temporal' Serie, he may split it on the position (he 
is interested in working on the temporal evolution of each slide) or on 
the time
(he is interested in working on the varoius volumes)

My question was on how to return the result of the extra job user will 
ask gdcm to perform on a given CoherentFileList (same Series Instance UID).
The result of this job may be *more than one* FileList (file : 
gdcm::File pointer, not 'file name')
