File-Slideshow --- "Slideshow files" sort by "Date Picture Taken"

[lunarmike]

In File - Slideshow. After "Adding" Slideshow files (pictures), I would like to "Sort files" by "Date Picture Taken".
I know I can do this outside IrfanView Slideshow, but it would be useful to sort in Slideshow for quickness when i am compiling many separate slideshows for digital projection.

What happens if you sort files by Exif date in Thumbnails, then start a slideshow with the selected files or save selected files as current slideshow, then open the slideshow dialogue?

I am assuming, Bhikkhu, that lunarmike wants to bring in files from a number of different folders and then sort all of them by Exif date taken. To do that in Thumbnails I think he would have to save a list of all those files as a text file and then open and sort that in the Thumbnail viewer. Not exactly a quick process.

There are several ways of doing what he wants to do if all the files are in a single folder.

Thank you Bhikkhu and Mij for your time. I have only just found the FAQ's and the one on "How to sort pictures by date taken" That is what I want to do!
I have bought a digital projector and I am compiling digital slideshows with IrfanView>Slideshow for a club social evening.
The Club Run slideshow pictures come from many members digital cameras. I have the task of merging them all together by "Date picture taken" from EXIF data. The idea being to show all Club Run pictures in chronological order, as long as all their camera clocks are set correctly!
I have noted your comments and I will try them out.
Thanks again
Mike
