Yeah, Gallery had an option in the batch upload window to upload one file at a time or X number at the same time. Hmm an idea. I'll use my FTP client and set it to single connection only and ftp them one at a time to server to see if that will do what I want.
Hmmm.. not really. The ID it creates for the images seems fairly random. Not really by filename or modified date. Anyway, been up too long. I may go look around in the code for my own curiosity to see how/when it creates the IDs. It was just weird seeing the RSS feed with images with names like "XYZ Photo #1", "XYZ Photo #2" and so on being out of order when using the ID.
For this gallery it's all kind of moot since I won't really be doing anymore batch uploads. Mostly the next one I need to do with its 1000+ images. I'm probably making a mountain out of mole hill anyway. LOL
