  Image filenames and viewing page sorting

I have noticed, that some people name their entry file names so that their
image will be at the top of the viewing page. For example some filenames
from this round: 001.jpg, 00pfboat.jpg, 13youth.jpg, 1j_canal.jpg, 2000l2.jpg,
etc. It seems clear that at least some people deliberately name their files
so that they get at the top of the page (of course I'm not saying _all_ the
people at the top are doing this, but I suppose that at least a few of them).

  Wouldn't it be a good idea to build the viewing page so that the entries
are not in alfabetical order, but in random order? This way nobody can get
advantage by naming his/her files with leading 0's.
  Of course this makes it harder to find your own entry, but I think that's
a minimal disadvantage... :)
