See if this info from yves alarie helps
> Files are sorted (listed) by numerical/alphabetical order.
> After you arrange your thumbnails in the order you want, you can view
> them,
> play a slide show etc. and they will be displayed in the order you have
> them. However, if you close the folder and open it again, the original
> order
> comes back, according to the numerical/alphabetical order of your file
> names.
> This being said, the only way to keep your new thumbnail order is to

> the files, using a naming system so that after renaming, the files will be
> listed in the order you want. The simplest way is to add numbers in front

> file to have a unique name.
> Supposed you have three files with unique names:
> High chair.jpg
> Sofa bed.jpg
> Tulip stand.jpg
> and you want sofa bed to be the last file, you would then place the
> thumbails in order and rename each file:
> 001 High chair.jpg
> 002 Tulip stand.jpg
> 003 Sofa bed.jpg
> and now the order is controlled by the number in front.

> However, if you are willing to accept the same name for a group of files,
> you can batch rename a group using a number in front and it would look

> this:
> 001 Chair collection.jpg
> 002 Chair collection.jpg
> or you can rename
> Chair collection 001.jpg
> Chair collection 002.jpg
> etc.
> You can do this with free software from:

> A good idea is to make a new folder on your hard drive and copy some photo

> This software will also give you the option to rename "the XP way" which

> to add a number in parenthesis at the end of the file name:
> Chair collection (1).jpg
> Chair collection (2).jpg
> This is not what you want for the web. You simply want numbers in front or
> at the end, no parenthesis, so that any server will accept the files and
> list them properly.
