why does Firefox open pictures in random order?

When I have taken pictures, I usually like to open them in a Firefox tab, especially if I already have Firefox open. I was wondering if there is any particular reason Firefox opens the pictures in random order. It would make more sense for it to open them according to their order (by date) in the Konqueror window I had the folder open in.

I think Firefox sorts directory contents by file name, not by date. Unless the names are dates, i.e. 2010-07-23.JPG, but still, the numbers are treated like ASCII characters, numbers come before letters in the ASCII table.

You should probably get an image file viewer, like Gwen View.
