Eye of Gnome displays images in incorrect order

[alistairi]

1. Open folder of images with Nautilus 2.19.91
2. Select "order objects" -> order by date (not sure if that's the correct english, I'm using German system)
3. Images are listed in Nautilus window by date

4. Open an image with Eye of Gnome 2.19.91
5. Click arrow on menu bar to show next image
6. The next image displayed is the next file alphabetically, not the next image date-wise

Eye of Gnome should pick up the order-by information from Nautilus and use this to determine next image displayed (like Windows does under similar circumstances ... ).

Imagine I want to cycle through all my holiday photos taken in, say, April ... I can't actually do this

My system is running Gutsy Gibbon updated to yesterday's state (ie 1-Sept), I guess that means it's Tribe 5.

2011 and the bug persist...

I've sent a little patch on the upstream bugtracker, that adds 6 image gallery sorting algorithms and a command line option for selecting the one used. At the moment I personally use this, as I need to have control of the gallery sorting order.
