iPhone photos import to iPhoto out of order

When I import photos from the iPhone to iPhoto the images come in a seemingly random order. I checked the image names and they are sequential to the order they were taken, but they appear in the iPhoto Library out of order.

This is very annoying, especially when importing in a large number or photos from multiple events.

iphone / iPhoto v 6.0.6 (322) /iTunes 7.6.2 (9), Mac OS X (10.4.11), G4 Mirrored Dirve door OS 10.4.11

Let me restate it.

How do I get my iPhone photos to import into my iPhoto Library in the order they appear in the iPhone (the order in which they were taken)?

When I import photos from the iPhone to iPhoto the images come in a seemingly random order. I checked the image names and they are sequential to the order they were taken, but they appear in the iPhoto Library out of order. When I view the photos on the iPhone they are in the correct order.

I just tried an import of the photos on my iphone and they imported in the correct order and separated into events based on when they were taken.

I am using iphoto 7.1.3.

I take it there aren't any patches for this old of a version of iPhoto/iLife.

Not for free anyway 😉
