How to copy files (not exporting) while converting to JPG ?

I need to copy files from PSE13 onto a USB stick so that they can be used on a photo-frame. The photo frame is in HD, but can only import JPG files. I need to copy the files (not export) because I want the damned photo-frame to display my pictures in the sequence in which the pictures were taken. The photo-frame can only sequence the display of the pictures by date and time from the files. If I export them into JPG format, all files will at the same time obtain today's system date and sequence will be lost.

How can I solve my problem?

Very grateful for any solution -

When you export files, the fields date and date_taken are kept. Do you mean your photo-frame uses the creation date instead?

You can assign a common date (to the second) to all files.

You can rename the files in an album in 'custom' order with a common text plus order number.

It uses the creation date which then means that the pictures are shown in random order instead of the order in which they were taken.
