iPhoto pics on iPad no longer in order

Today, the pictures that were in chronological (print number) order in albums and also in the complete photo listing on the iPad are no longer in chronological order. I synched at the end of the day yesterday. No updates were done today nor any photos added. All the folders were showing correctly yesterday. The photos in iPhoto on the Mac are unchanged and still in the correct order in folders. Some groups pictures in a folder on the iPad can be in order within the album while others can be widely separted from photos they should be next to.

I went through each album on the Mac and changed the order from ascending to descending and although it did cause a change on the iPad, they are still in mixed order. I have changed sorting multiple times and resynched with no change other than what the first picture is in each folder. Before synching again, I unchecked all the albums under pictures in iTunesand synched. The boxes were checked again and resynched with nothing still in correct order. I also deleted photos in two of the albums on the Mac and then put the pictures back in. When syncing it did show that photos were being added to the iPad, but still were out of order.

All eleven albums are affected in iPhoto. It is not related to folder size which varies from 3 pictures to nearly 400.

I have shut down the iPad multiple times and restarted with no changes.

The problem is only on the iPad. Pictures in random order on the iPad is an unsatisfactory situation if one is trying to show pictures of an event that should be seen in order.
