How to reverse the order of opened photos in Photoshop?

I am a real estate photographer and shoot photos of the property as a walk through. when I transfer my photos to my desktop computer to perform the post editing, i load them into photoshop, maybe 25 to 55 photos. I drag and drop the group of photos into Photoshop and it loads them in numerical order low to high. Photoshop defaults to the last photo. I need to start post editing with the first photo. How can I do that? I find no way to reverse the order of the group of photos that I have opened in Photoshop. In other words as shoot the photos walking through the property, many of them are grouped together through various areas of the property such as front exterior, multiple angles of the living room, kitchen, and so on. I have just installed the latest version Photoshop 2024. If anyone out there knows how to reverse the order of the loaded photos numerically from high to low, it would be a great help with expediting post editing of the photos of the property. We have to load the multiple photos in a slideshow tour onto multiple other websites. Therefore the order of the photos is important to the clients and the viewers.

Photoshop will not let me use the File > Open dialog. The checkbox is active for one photo only as soon as I select multiple photos the check box Grays out and there is no place to set ascending or descending. What am I doing wrong?

Can you post a screenshot from File/Open with the entire window visible?

 

Have you tried Adobe Bridge as suggested by @Trevor.Dennis?

If using the File > Open dialog in Photoshop, set the sort order as required (ascending/descending) and the docs will open in that order.

 

I wrote a simple script for this, but it isn't really necessary:

That being said, opening many images at once will eat into available memory. There are some scripts that allow opening files one by one from a nominated folder.

Open them in Bridge. 

Go through them giving them a star rating.  Say 5 for a winner, 4 for might use and 1 for reject.

Click on the required rating to filter, right click and choose Sort choosing whatever works for you.

The files will open in the order you sorted them.

 

Bridge is Adobe's unsung hero, and sadly ignored by too many people.  It has the advantage of working with all Adobe apps and formats.
