Renumber them or rename them sequentially.

There are very few photo organizers that will just allow you to slide the pictures into an orderly sequence and then not reshuffle them into a numerical or name sequential order.

Yes, It's truly a Pita. Now I am sure someone who does this for money can point you to a $100 piece of software that allows you to drop slides into select place and have them stick, But?????????????

If I were going to start looking for a presentation program that allowed me more control over placement of images or videos, I'd take a long look at Photodex's ProShow Gold...($70). Great support and relatively easy to learn. They have a free trial, and a very good help desk, but there's a banner splashed across the images in the free trial. At least you can learn if there is an answer to your question.

My final solution. "Oh the hell with it..... who cares if the slides are in any order?"

When copying images to a flash drive or disc for projection, I number my images starting with 01 as the title slide. With some programs, if you start with "1", the next image may be 10, etc.

Use leading zeros in x digit numbers.

xxxx0001
xxxx0002

Otherwise they may not be in the desired order due to the alpha-numeric sorting.

Here's what happens without the filler digits-

I also add a brief descriptive title to my images, so numbering has to be first:
01 - Title Slide
02 - Monarch Egg
03 - Monarch Caterpillar1
04 - Monarch Caterpillar2
05 - Monarch Caterpillar3
06 - Monarch Chrysalis
07 - Adult female Monarch
08 - Adult male Monarch

I also use ProShow Gold. The slides are always in the correct order. However, if you use Windows, they can easily be group processed with renumbering in a few seconds. I'm sure IOS will work similarly.

Rename the files with a sequential number as the start of each file name. On a Mac, I use Graphic Converter (shareware, $40).

Longshadow, Thanks for your post, I've had that dilemma a few time too, most often when I want to blend pictures taken with two different camera's into one show, both Canons

.

As I recall, we used to be able to do it with the old Microsoft Live pictures program, but I don't even know it that is still available, and might mess up your regular pictures file???

PAT,
It depends on what you are trying to use to show the photos.
If you are trying to use Windows FAX and Picture viewer set the sort order to the filename, date created, date modified, whatever you need.
If that will not work, rename the photo files to a number series beginning with 001, sort by name.

If you have Microsoft Office installed you can create a fine slide show in PowerPoint and control the order of slides by where in the slide show the photo appears. You can control the show manually, let it run on full auto, or save the entire show to a movie file.

In Lightroom, create a collection of the desired photos.
In the library module, drag and drop the images (not the frames) to arrange them.
Export them to a folder.
- In the "File Naming" section, check the "Rename To:" box.
- Select "Custom Name - Sequence".
- Enter desired "Custom Text:"
- Set "Start Number" to 10 if you have more than 9 photos, or 100 if you have more than 99 photos.

Go to http://www.photodex.com/ this will solve your problem. I have used the Producer for all of my slide shows for several years, or you can buy ProShow Gold. that will do what you want.
