If you reposition photos in a folder, how do you save
them so when you reopen the folder, they are in the same
order, if you do not like the sort by date or sort by
name option display?

===================================
Number your files...

For a numbering system that should be
universal, try renaming your files this way:

Kelly,Sara,Heather0001.jpg
Kelly,Sara,Heather0002.jpg

If the file names are different...you can
still sort by number if you place the number
first.

0001Kelly,Sara,Heather.jpg
0002Mary,Betty,Brenda.jpg

When you go to two or three digits...remove
the equal number of zeros.

0001
0010
0100

If you're going above 999, add an additional
zero to each file.

00001
00010
00100
01000

You can add a space between the letters
and numbers if you wish and also you can
use parenthesis.

(0001) Kelly,Sara,Heather.jpg
(0002) Kelly,Sara,Heather.jpg

If you need to batch renumber your files,
the excellent freeware IrfanView can do it.
