I took some pics of some military training and now I'm trying to put them to CD and have them display in a certain order. I've re-named them 1.jpg,2.jpg,3.jpg etc. but, they still keep coming up in another order. Not sure why? Anybody know what I need to change to make them display in the order I want? Thanks for any help.

some common mistakes i used to make:
1. naming the images 1,2,3 instead of 001, 002, 003
2. forgot to turn off the "display randomly" setting on the image viewer

It's computer-ese. Instead of nameing them 1.jpg, 2.jpg. etc, name them with 3 or 4 digits ie 0001.jpg, 0002.jpg then they will display in correct order. Otherwise a computer will think 1.jpg, 11.jpg,2.jpg, etc and put them in that order

Where would the display randomly on the image viewer be? Sorry never even heard of that one. I'm running Windows XP

what image viewer are you using to display the images?
if you only meant the listing display on windows explorer, try #1, or what Egor said, it's the same thing. Hope this helps

Right click in the folder and choose "sort by.... NAME" :)

ok, that wasn't in my own "common mistakes" list, but you're damn right - check that first before anything else! lol
