- In general, items are sorted on the computer by name in alphabetical
order.
- Computers will sort numbers before letters so 1 will be above a.
- Keeping this in mind you can rename pictures and get them in the order
you want by taking advantage of this sorting method.
- Rename a photo and put a 1 at the beginning and it will be at the top
of the list.
- You can organize photos that should be sequential by giving them
sequential numbers like 2, 22, and 222.
- In the example above if you renamed the next photo with a 3 at the
front it would fall right after the one with the 2.
- To get it to come after 222 you'd want to name it something like 3Z.
- Experiment and remember that you can get an entire collection of
photos in the order you want simply by altering a few characters at the
beginning of the existing file name.
