Hi Folks,

I find myself using geeqie in "sort by date" mode a lot these days, and
sorely lacking an easy way to reorder files when the timestamps need
changing. Looks like I could get away with collections for reordering,
but the timestamps would still be wrong. So I came up with a plugin to
reorder files in the current selection. Basically selecting files [a]
[b] [c] and clicking reorder changes [b] and [c]'s timestamps so they
show up right after [a] in that order.

Next step was to find a way to make it more accessible so you don't have
to go digging for it in the Edit menu. I came up with a patch to allow
plugins to show up directly in the popup menu if they set
  X-Geeqie-PopupMenu=true
in the .desktop file. Now it's a joy to use.

Posting in case others find it useful / it makes sense to add it to geeqie.

My changes for current 1.2 branch are on the reorder_plugin branch at
  https://github.com/lemonsqueeze/geeqie/
(plugin is at http://tinyurl.com/nv8pm4x)

There's also a ppa for ubuntu trusty (geeqie 1.1)

Cheers
