Michael, The current version of Shotwell (0.7.x) will not notice the change to the EXIF data and re-sort your photos. That is planned for the next release, and code to do that is in trunk today. If you're curious, check out our project page at http://www.yorba.org/shotwell/install/#source for building the latest. Otherwise, you would need to re-import your photos after updating their metadata.
The Modify Date that exiftool reports is actually EXIF's DateTime tag -- yet another quasi-ambiguous date field in the EXIF spec. Usually DateTime is specified along with DateTimeOriginal and/or DateTimeDigitzed, so that might be another field we should fall back on. I'll update our ticket to consider this. Could you install the exiv2 command line tool (if it's not already installed) and run this command: $ exiv2 -pa image.jpg > exiv2.txt and attach the exiv2.txt file to this ticket? That would give me a better idea of what metadata is stored in your scanned files.
