For the purposes of burning a DVD ( probably with K3B ),
How do I assure that the pictures are placed in sequential order.
This is a series of a thousand pictures taken over a 9 month period showing the building of a house.
TIA

Well, then you must think about this from the beginning when you name the files :-)
Some stupid date formats as mm/dd/yy also make problems when sorting files.
I made a script that archive my pictures to names as 20040417-221720.jpg ,
using the EXIF data included in all digital photos, so they will be sorted
after the time I took the photo.
You can test this: if you have digital photos, and exiftran installed.
mkdir archive
for i in `find . -name "anneshouse*.jpg" -print`
do
exif=$(exiftran -d $i |grep '0x0132' |sed -e 's,.*Date and Time.*\(200.\):\(..\):\(..\) \(..\):\(..\):\(..\),\1\2\3-\4\5\6.jpg,')
echo $exif ${#exif} # for debug
if [ ${#exif} -eq 19 ]
then
cp $i archive/$exif
fi
done
