Thanks colleague.  Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.  Without finding a totally automated way to get the list I was gravitating to a semiautomatic way. 

Your thoughts spurred me to this solution:

- Use a image sharing site that allows both custom ordering and can display the filename as well

- I simply rename the files before uploading as 1 to 200

- After the friend uses the drag and drop feature to order by their own priority, take your approach and have the friend write down the filenames (which are just numbers 1 to 200) in the order as they appear on their custom sorted screen.  This friend does not have excel yet I can certainly take any list they create and import it into Excel for processing.

So your thoughts were very helpful and I will very likely use the approach you suggested.  I appreciate the time you took to respond to this unusually request for information.
