The best solution I think would be a searchable database allowing the visitor to sort and filter the entries any way he/she needs. That would require some custom scripts though so I'm not sure if that's an option. I'd love to help you there, but unfortunately the only script language I know well enough is one your server isn't very likely to support. 110 entries are still reasonably manageable through static web pages. You'd only need to split the list into two or at most three pages. I believe the dating is the most relevant sort criteria. The uncertain age of some images is a problem of course, but the solution is to just date them as well as possible and accept the fact that the sorting may not be as exact as we'd like it to be.
