The naming and numbering usually happens when you download them from the camera.
You give a general name for the pictures, like "holiday" and then as they are downloaded they are then numbered "holiday 001", "holiday 002" and so on.
If you are viewing the pictures in a folder then on the View menu there is an option called "Arrange icons by" and you can choose "Name" and this will put them in number order.
