You could use the touch(1) command to change the filesystem modify date, then
sort by date in geeqie... That'll be volatile in that if you modify any of
those files, it will change your order.
You could append varying lengths of blank padding to the end of each file and
sort by size. :D
You could keep the original filename and prefix a numbering so that you get the
sorting without losing the original filename reference. I have done this.
For web display, I have scripts that thumbnail an entire directory of images
and create an HTML wrapper that I then hand-edit to get the order I like.
