Try using gwenview (the default image viewer for KDE) and then go to 
View -> Sort By -> Date.  That will show you thumbnails of all your 
images sorted by Date and the fullscreen and slideshow view with all 
honor your requested order.

PS try holding down CTRL (or clicking the little plus sign in the upper 
left corner) while clicking thumbnails in the view area to compare them. 
  Great feature for selecting pictures after a photo shoot.
