=====================================
If the file names are different...you can
still sort by number if you place the number
first.

0001Kelly,Sara,Heather.jpg
0002Mary,Betty,Brenda.jpg

When you go to two or three digits...remove
the equal number of zeros.

0001
0010
0100

If you're going above 999, add an additional
zero to each file.

00001
00010
00100
01000

You can add a space between the letters
and numbers if you wish and also you can
use parenthesis.

If you wish to batch rename/renumber your
files, the excellent freeware IrfanView can
do it. Search the IrfanVIew help file for
*Batch Conversion*.

You may have to reorganize the files by using
the "move up / move down" buttons before
you start the renaming process.

Download IrfanView 3.91
