Win MP 11, Win XP SP2 here...

I recently purchased a CD of pro photos (.jpg's) taken of me on a rafting
trip. They are in sequence by photo number and all have the same exact
date/time stamp on them. When I copy them to a folder my PC and bring them
into WMP 11, they are no longer in number (alphabetical) sequence. They all
show the same Date Taken in WMP, but no time is shown. They are also not in
file size sequence. I can sort them into alpha order, but when I close WMP
11 and return, they are back to out-of-order sequence.

The problem is I'm tring to view this album in sequence on my HP Media Smart
TV which uses WMP11 as it's source. Since they are out of sequence in WMP
they don't show up in sequence on the TV either.

I just now figured out the sort order in WMP11 (for photos at least) is the
column "Date Added". It seems as though it "added" many of the smaller sized
photos into the library before adding some of the larger ones, thereby
throwing the sequence out of order.

Forget msg#2 - I just did another test where I added 1 photo into a directory
at a time and it's not keeping them in Date Added sequence either - so, now
I'm at a loss as to what sequence WMP11 is using and how to get around it.
