Feature request: cycle through images by their mtime

[Christian Jaeger <chrjae gmail com>]

Hello

Most of the time the pictures in a folder form a logic sequence when
being sorted by their modification time; whereas their names usually
at least start with a quasi-random part (sometimes they still end in a
part from a camera which would contain a serial number which would be
a useful sorting criterium, too, but since that's less often the case
on my disk than having valid mtimes, that's not so important).

What do you think about that? Would there be an easy way to do it with
a plugin? Or would it be easy to just code into the core? Would anyone
do that or would it be up to me?

Thanks,
Christian.
