Abstract
In an image number arranging method, a CPU reads all image file names out of a memory card recorded with image files, and enters these file names to an entry table so that they are arranged in a power ascending order. The CPU then calculates respective distances for the file numbers, and detects two image file names assuming maximum in the distance. The file names arranged at and before one of the two image file names and the file names arranged at and after the other of the two image file names are replaced with each other, thereby being entered to the entry table.
