Hi,
I sometimes want to do the same type of thing for viewing on my TV in a particular order.
The only way to do it is to select the album, select all the images in the album and then use File -> Export as new file(s). During the export, I specify that the files are to be renamed with a sequence number. I usually export to a completely different folder (outside of the organizer) and I leave the album in the organizer alone in case I want to add more at a later stage.
An alternative is to produce a slide show in say wmv format.
The problem is basically down to how you are going to view them. Most viewers only work on date or name order so you need to re-write the images somehow. If you want to re-import them back into the organizer, you can but you may loose tags and album settings.
Hope that helps
Brian
