My python script downloads images (weather maps) each having a date-time yymmddhh in the filename:

When displayed in Gallery they are not displayed in downloaded (or filename) sequence (though they nearly are). Shouldn't they be?
just maybe gallery is designed fot photos and using its exif metadata?

Creation Time : 16-May-2019 07:14:28
So these forecasts were generated, and the files created, in the morning.
My python program retrieves and writes these files in forecast date-time order so I wouldn't have thought there could any asynchronicity involved at my end, but might there be on the server (poseidon.hcmr.gr)? But I found that the Creation Time was in strict forecast time order - so that wouldn't account for it.
It's not that important - I intend to add a viewer for the images - but it's curious.
