Ah, you didn't mention the list was built from the command line, the slideshow
will then be in the order that the images were given (random option will still
apply). If you need to check the order of the command line from within GQview
you can use the -l command line argument to show a collection window containing
the files, you can also sort them from that window's context menu.
