pics in sequence 1, 2, 3, etc. files show 1,10,15,3 etc

Hummy

In MY Pictures, I put all pictures in order of name 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
When my slide show is started, I get 1, 10, 15, 16, 5, 2, etc.
How come and how can I change this?
I've tried multiple actions already

Have you tried, 001, 002, 003..and so on?

=====================================
Pesonally...I use 1001, 1002, 1003.... You can
number your pictures in a batch in WinXP if you
arrange them the way you like them and then
number as follows:
1) File / Select All...
2) Right click the first picture of the selected group...
3) From the menu...choose...Rename...
4) Type... event name (1001).jpg ...
5) Press...Enter...
Windows will fill the sequence...
event name (1002).jpg
event name (1003).jpg
event name (1004).jpg

....

And...maybe the following article would be worth a look:
