As a dentist I thought I'd come up with a great idea to display my handywork in the waiting area. I bought a "Jobo" digital frame with the biggest screen I could find.

So far so good, however after downloading the pics onto a card and putting it in the frame they all played the "wrong" way- that is the much improved "after" shots appear before the "before" shots.

I then took careful note of the picture numbers and downloaded them in the order I wanted them played but still no luck! They play in exactly the same (back to front order!)

The frame itself has no option to change the slideshow order- Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jim

The images will be displaying in numerical order. You will need to change the image names on the pc to arrange them into the correct slide show.

Sorry, but that's quite funny! Reminds me of years ago I spend ages (like days) rep-ordering a contacts database then IT said they could have done at the press of a button.

Indeed, and also use 1.1, 1.2 1.3 etc otherwise things wil probably go pear shaped after 10.

I have a photo frame built into the wall with an old PC behind running the show. I use a1, a2, a3 etc

Or you can use 0000001, 0000002, etc.
