hi ruben,

this is a feature request that is easily satisfied,
because it is outside of cthumb :-)

am i inferring correctly that you are using cthumb -c to create
the album initially? like this?

	cthumb -c *.jpg > your.album

the *.jpg sorts the pictures alphabetically/numerically.
what you can do is:

	cthumb -c `ls -r *.jpg` > your.album

and that will list them in reverse alphanumeric order.
that may just do what you want. if not, you may want to be
more specific, with details of what you do.

-c
