When I import photos from PC to iPhoto can I sort by file name?

I have organised my photos on my PC into folders. For some of these photos I have renamed the files to ensure they always display in a certain order when sorted alphabetically.


I am aware that iPhoto does not really use file names. I see the advantages of this but as I am used to the Windows convention I have the following question:


When I import my photos to iPhoto, will they still be sorted alphabetically by the file names I have carefully created on my Windows PC, or will I need to resort them manually?



Thanks!

iPhoto '11, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

iPhoto uses the file names as the title under the thumbnail images and they can be sorted by title in the Event mode and the Photos mode and in albums.
