  You still sound angry :)

  That was my point: How do you control that?
  I don't know how many people is judging the images or if there are judges
who estimate the images in one long session terminating at 2am, but there
is a possibility that somebody is doing this, or even many people. The idea
"they souldn't do that" doesn't help. If they do it, they do it.
  This way people who name their files with leading zeroes are getting
advantage in a very unfair manner, because it's possible that some people
are judging the images this way. Maybe nobody is doing this, but since
there is the possibility, it causes that participants can get unfair advantage.
  Of course you can get advantage even if the images are sorted randomly if
your image gets at the top, but the next time it's not probable you get at
the top again. At least you can't deliberately place yourself at the top.
  Maybe it's even possible to give a different ordered list to each judge,
so possible disadvantages are minimized.
