When doing animated gifs, I use the following trick:
1. Create a long variable, e.g.
    a='1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 9 8 7 8 9'
   containing the frame numbers in the right order.
   (writing shell functions like reverse() help doing this)
   It is often useful to have several of them and to
   combine them in various ways.
2. Say somthing like
   frames=''; for i in $a ; do frames=${frames}frame{$i}'.gif '; done
   gifmerge -options $frames > animated.gif

Having this in a shell script allows easy experimentation
(I often find out after looking ath the result that
some frames should be duplicated, skipped or even rerendered
for better results).

AFAIK Netscape has even settings to correct this (Netscape 4.5*
comes with almost all default settings wrong).
