Based on these comments, I'm not sure you understand what is being said here. Or, that there is a fundamental misunderstanding of how images are displayed.
To display images to the reader you need to link those images from within the html page using code like this:
<img alt="" src="../Images/img_01.jpg" />
You need that code for EACH image that you want to show up in the story.
If your images are given a specific name like "firstimageinchapterone.jpg", "secondimageinchaptertwo.jpg", "Oldman.jpg", "49birdsinTahiti.jpg" and you want them to show up in this order:
1. firstimageinchapterone
2. Oldman
3. 49birdsinTahiti
4. secondimageinchaptertwo
Then you must put them into the HTML in that order. As in:
<img alt="" src="../Images/firstimageinchapterone.jpg" />
<img alt="" src="../Images/Oldman.jpg" />
<img alt="" src="../Images/49birdsinTahiti.jpg" />
<img alt="" src="../Images/secondimageinchaptertwo.jpg" />
The Images folder has absolutely nothing to do with what order they are viewed by the reader, they are simply a container to put all your image files in so the device knows where to go look for them.
When you open Calibre or Sigil, the editor program organizes those files in the alphanumeric order mentioned before (0-9A-Za-z) just for your convenience as the creator...not the reader. The files would be listed in the Images folder as:
49birdsinTahiti.jpg
Oldman.jpg
firstimageinchapterone.jpg
secondimageinchaptertwo.jpg
If you are seriously expecting the reader to go over to the images folder and double click on an image as they get to the spot in the book, then you have things a bit backwards.
Cheers,
