Hi Capt.

Not sure if you can arrange photos in albums here or how they are arranged by the forum software.

They could default to arrange by loaded date or maybe alphabetically by photo name.

If you want to point out your chronological journey you may have to use a "professional" photo host like Flickr that does slideshows and then provide a link to the slideshow.

Nice photos BTW - I am sure there are lots of stories that go with...

Hi Capt Fred,

Try and upload three or four after giving the pre-upload filenames increasing numbers with the same number of digits: ie.

10001
10002
10003
10004 ...

If they upload and display in that order then you'll have your answer: if they don't then it's most likely the upload order. The original file date shouldn't show on the file on the server once uploaded (as the server-side code always creates a new file) but the original filenames will.

Good luck!

Phil

I appreciate the suggestions ExCalif and Calvalier. If I want to do it my way, It appears I must delete the Album and start again....I sure hope I live long enough to finish this chore...Thanks again, Capt.Fred
