That  script is exactly what I was hoping for,
but sadly, it didn't work for me.  What did I do wrong?

When I put 7 small images in a folder to try that script,
I got the result shown below:

$ for filename in "$(ls -lt)" ; do display "$filename" ; done
display: no decode delegate for this image format `15 z3.jpg
