Organizing photos on ipad

Question

Is there any way for me to control the order in which photos appear within an album or during a slideshow? As far as I can tell, the photos are arranged in the order of when the photo was originally taken and I can't find any way to change that.
I tried renaming the photos in the alphabetical order of the way I want them to appear and then re-syncing but that had no effect.
Note: I am PC-based, not MAC.

I have found a way to easily and quickly do this in Windows 7, if this helps anyone.
have all the files you want in your slide show in one folder (in Windows).
Number them in the order you want them to appear.
View them in details mode, which will show you the date the photos were taken.  Mostly likely they were taken at all different times.
Select all photos.
Right click on your first photo and choose properties
On the Details tab, click on the link at the bottom that says "Remove Properties and Personal Information"
In the next window that comes up, click on the button that says "remove the following properties from this file" then scroll down until you see "Date Taken" and then click the box beside it (if you want to remove any other information, click on those boxes as well).  Then click OK.  Because you had selected all photos it will remove all the chosen information from each of the photos.
Then you can change the dates and times so they are all the same:  Follow the instructions above starting with #4.  When you get to the Details tab, click on the white space to the right of the Date Taken section (under origin).  Either type the day you are doing these changes or choose it on the calendar that pops up.  Don't worry about the time.  Click ok.  If you had all photos selected it will show that they were all taken at the same date and time.
Now sync to your iPad.  It will now play the photos in order.
Hope this helps!
