I take a lot of screenshots at work and need to review them once in awhile, and typically have nautilus set to sort by Date Modified. I give the images a descriptive name, but I don't number them or name them all the same thing.

When I use next/previous or arrow through images, no matter what the order is in nautilus, eog always goes by name. This makes it extremely frustrating to use eog and look at the images I want to look at. I end up just opening them all in separate windows (which currently makes them open under nautilus - see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582931), and switching between all the different windows. I would rather have one window open and flip between images using next/previous, seeing the images I want to see.

It seems like there should at the very least be a behavior setting that determines how the image order eog uses is determined, but it seems intuitive to think that it would follow the listing you currently see in nautilus.

I checked this morning at home, and Windows 7's built in image viewer follows sort order in Explorer. It would be awesome if eog and nautilus were as predictable.

If it makes any difference, I'm running 64-bit Fedora 17, and eog is eog-3.4.3-2.fc17.x86_64.
