Greetings,
I am running Fedora 20 x86_64 with all updates.
These days I am, among many other things, reordering old family
pictures scanned in several occasions, by different people.
So I have folders with many, many files named like:
196511-holidays-1.jpg
1968summer.jpg
1961-july-15-birthday.jpg
and so on. The problem is that, while the files are obviously sorted
correctly at the prompt when I do ls -l, this does NOT happen in any
GUI application I've tried so far: nautilus, gwenview, dolphin... They
all couldn't care less that I DO tell them to "sort by name". They
keep showing the pictures in some other, NOT alphanumerical order, as
in the example above. Which makes it very time consuming to catalog
the pictures, of course, but above all makes me wonder if there is
something wrong going on.
I've seen around some bug reports of the same "class", like
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169883, but this seems a more
serious issue. My file names all start with the 4-digits year, so I
can't see how or why a file manager should not sort them correctly by
"name".
Any clue? Thanks!

I remember this. It's a Fedora and Ubuntu problem. Going back a lot of
years, I was using slideshow to create a 25 minute sequence of >200
slides, slide and transition times to tenths of a second, with music for
dvd.
The only way I found was to have folders: a_somename, aa_somename,
b_somename, c_somename and so on and in the folders name the images
0001.jpg, to 0009.jpg then 0010.jpg to 0019.jpg and so on, so the
folders sort on the first letter and the contained images sort numerically.
This way I could re order the slide images by renumbering or putting an
a or b in the file name 0009a.jpg and 0009b.jpg
Don't know if that helps but it's the only way I could find to sequence
images in a folder and sequence folders by name. I then created a
spreadsheet with all the folders and images in the above sequence with
the proper name of the file in an adjoining column.
Messy but very effective.
