The first thing to do is to determine if  the photos in the correct order in the thumbnail tray at the bottom of the slidesnhow window?  If they aren't try the following:

 

1 - put them in an album and in the order you want.

2  click on one thumbnail in the album and type Command + A (select All). 

3 - go to the File menu and select the Create Slideshow menu option.

4 - in the slideshow window check the thumbnail tray at the bottom to see if the images are in the same order as the album.

 

The above is how I get photos into a slideshow in the order they were in an album.

    What template are you using? The running order will be dictated by that.
