Shuffle Mode Showing George Washington First This seems like a bug I would prefer the first slide to also be random. All subsequent slides are displayed in random order. I will still get George Washington first in my example. In the shuffle mode, the first slide is always displayed first. Right clicking with the mouse or other pointing device during the slide show brings up a popup menu with the Loop and Shuffle modes as well as other controls. Loop Mode Showing George Washington First In this mode, the slides are displayed in order. Slideshow with US Presidents Ordered in Chronological Orderīy default, Windows 10 plays the slide show in Loop mode with Shuffle mode off. George Washington is the first President of the United States. To display the Presidents in chronological order, I add a numeric prefix to each file in the folder. In the example below, I use the prefix 000 to display the picture of George Washington first. Note that on Windows (and many computer systems) the numbers 0-9 come before A-Z, thus files that start with a number such as 000my_file_name.jpg will display before files that start with a letter such as my_file_name.jpg. Thus, it is probably best to use alphabetical file names to ensure that the files display as desired. In my experience on my system, this occasionally does not happen and the files are displayed alphabetically even though another view is selected. Usually, Windows 10 will display the picture files in the folder in the order displayed in the file explorer: alphabetically if Name is selected, by date if Date is selected, by file size if Size is selected, etc. Slideshows can be quickly launched in Windows 10 using the Windows File Explorer by selecting the Manage tab and clicking on the Slideshow Icon. This is a short article on how to control the order of slides in a slideshow on the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system.
