Placement of Scanned Photos in a Folder HELP!

[Leeanne C.]

I am scanning photos and slides into Windows XP using an Epson V500 photo
scanner. The destination for these photos is the D drive, in a sub-folder.
I am not using Photo Gallery. The newest scans in any session appear near
the top of the open folder, not at the bottom, in numerical order. (The
scanner numbers them in numeric order). This causes me to highlight and drag
each group of new scans to the bottom of the open folder. There are also
times when the order of the photos in the folder are mixed up at different
times of opening the folder, even if I have numbered all the photos
sequentially. I have over 1000 scans done, and this has been a constant
problem.
