Question about burning disks with Picasa 3

I shot about 150 pics at a high school basketball game. Using Picasa 3, I burned them onto a cd disk. All the pictures transferred ok but they were not in chronological order! I cannot figure out why. Any ideas? thanks in advance. ( BTW only about 10% were of any quality)

From the Picasa support forums:
Order of photos on the CD/DVD: If you select 'Include Slideshow,' photos will be copied in the same order that you had the photos arranged in your folder or album. Otherwise, photos will be copied in the same order as they are stored on your hard drive, most likely alphabetical order according to filename.

I had a problem uploading a slide show to a website (on the GoDaddy platform). I could not get the slides to display on the website in the order I wanted them - the software, one of the software packages, reordered them in a manner unintelligible to me. Very disconcerting when you are trying to tell a story. I assumed it was the GoDaddy import software (they redo it regularly without notice or explanation, requiring the webmaster to figure it out on the fly). But maybe it was Picasa as I had just replaced my computer and this was a new download of the Picasa software.

If you still can't get it to work the way you want it to, consider renaming the images in sequential order. I haven't tried that in Picasa, but it does have an export option to add numbers to retain the order. Then you would make a CD from those renamed images.

I did rename the images to retain order. As I remember, that didn't work either! Finally solved my dilemma by retiring as WebMaster - let somebody else struggle with it.
