DISPLAY ORDER
Ron has identified what is potentially the cause of the out-of-sequence
display of your pictures but it may not be the whole story.
On a PC it will depend on what product is displaying the images and how the
user has chose to display them (by accident or design) - alphabetic order
(Ron's solution works here), Date of creation, date of update, date last
referenced and (most unlikely) order of writing to disk.
Displaying in a suitable DVD player that can handle JPGs etc. all these can
apply (and you probably cannot change them) with the order of writing
sometimes taking precedence.

Dear Pat
Your problem with numbering lies with the computer. Being "digital" it is
rather thick and can only count up to one in binary. Either 0 or 1 for off
and on. When the computer sees your files numbered in base ten in the first
instant it will keep your files in the order they are saved but on the
second saving it will re-order them as 1, 10, 11, 2, 3 etc. A simple way
round this is to prefix your file names with a zero ie: 01, 02, 03 etc. or
if you are likely to go beyond 100 use two zero's etc.
I hope that helps - don't blame Barbara !

I have been scanning my old slides on to the computer and then putting them
in some sort of order
and numbering from 1-60.When I copied them onto a CD and played on my DVD
player they were in perfect order.
When I gave the CD to my sister to put on her computer the pictures came out
in all sorts of order.
Can you explain why and have I done something wrong?
And how can I stop it happening again.
Someone has mentioned "Finalising the disc"
What is this and how do I do it?
Hoping someone can help me
Thanks
Pat Baker
