New User! Used iTunes to sync folder with 964 photos from PC to iPad2. They did not sync in the same order (chronological). How can I retain the order when syncing?

There is no way to control the display order in the Photos app. It is pretty limited as an organizer. Most people who want more control over how their photos are diplayed use a third party app. Some popular ones are Photo-Sort, Photo Manager Pro, and Photo Shack Pro.
