You could do as Markku suggested or you could go a slightly different route and google
"sort files by exif date" which will get you to a few java based tools to give
you a GUI to perform the function.

Thanks Ed, I just found your message in Junk. I re-installed Thunderbird
late yesterday and apparently I've got something in the filters sending
messages to the wrong place! Viasat/Wildblue has changed our email
server away from gmail, and I have been filtering some spam to junk ...
I may have to switch back to gmail.
I'll try as you suggest and make note of it.
Bob
