 * I loaded a gallery with about 150 JPG with media-from-ftp and saw, that the resulting
   sequence in media library was “nearly” ok, but some pictures are switched. It
   should receive the date from Exif. I could find out, that in the post-Table the
   field post_date the seconds were all zero (so only hour and minute were correct).
   The result: all pictures taken within 1 minute were randomly mixed. The exif 
   informations were complete. When I tried your plugin “extend media upload” it
   worked fine, so I will take this in the future. But it would be nice, if “media
   from ftp” could also write the complete date/time in the post_date field.

 * Settings -> Register -> Date -> Get the date/time of the file, and updated based
   on it. Change it if necessary.Get by priority if there is date and time of the
   Exif information.

 * Thanks. That’s exact the way, I did it. The Plugin took the exif date, that’s
   correct, but it took only hour and minute and not the second! So if I have multiple
   pictures within one minute, they seems to have the same date and appears in random
   order.
