Q14. How do I arrange the order of the photos on by Pocket Album Deluxe OLED 2.8?

The photos on your device will be displayed (1) first in the order of each folder (Folder1, Folder2, …and Folder5), and (2) within each folder, in the order that they were transferred to the device.

Every time you transfer the photos, they will be named in sequence starting from 0001, 0002, 0003, …etc.. If you deleted 001, 002, 005-008, (so you only have 003,004, 009), then the next time you transfer photos to the same folder, the new photos be named 001, 002, 005-008 (taking the open numbers available). On the Photo Viewer device window you'll see that the old and new photos are mixed in order (they're in alphabetical order), but when you display the images on the device they'll be in the order in which they were added to the device. In this example, it'd be 003, 004, 009, 001, 002, 005-008.

To re-arrange the order, you can save a copy of the converted images, and transfer them again to the device in the order you want.
