    Sort thumbnails by time as well as by date

    I have photos taken with several cameras. I want to display the thumbnails in the order they were taken. However, when I select "date taken" the images are grouped by the date, but not sorted by the time. Is there a way that I can have them sorted in the same order that Windows Explorer does? Am I missing something obvious?

    A quick test seems to to show that 'Sort by Exif date' works in the desired way.

    There may be 2 downsides:
    (1) when your files don't have Exif
    (2) reading out the Exif data maybe slow when your folder holds many images

    As an alternative you can rename your files with IrfanView as I do, e.g.<date>-<time>-<camera model>-<original file name>

    PS: renaming may require Exif too, but once that is done there is no further issue with performance every time you view images/thumbs.
