I assume he was talking about displaying objects in a folder.
In Windows you can display objects in a folder in a number of "views" such as icon view, list view, thumbnail view and so on.
You normally change the "view" with one of the menus at the top of the folder.
In XP it is the "view" menu and there are about 6 different views to chose from (Vista does it slightly differently).
So he said select the "detail" view.
That will give you the name of the object, the size, the type, and the date in different columns, like this:
http://ftp.pcworld.com/pub/screencams/rename03 .jpg.

if I recall correctly this was about re-ordering your pictures.
although AC's why is correct this is a quicker way.
Open the folder that contains the pictures that are out of order, click on a empty part of the background in that folder, select arrange as and then select either "date" or "picture taken on" depending on which is available.
they should now be back in the correct order.

Once you have your folder in detail view you can click on the actual "heading" of the column and it will sort the data in those columns.
So click on the "Name" column and it sorts A to Z, click again and it sorts Z to A and so on.
You can also click on the "date" column and it sorts new to old click again and it sorts old to new.
Once you have the objects sorted in the date order you want you can switch back to "thumbnail" view and they should stay in order.

You're not the only one having problems - shtoopid ab scripts - only just loged back in on this machine
Chuck's reply covers (as you know) - I've just always done it the way I said - It's worked with every version of windows - I know the other way - I just never use it
I prefer detail view - even with photos - because you can see what sort order you are using - then shift to thumbnails
