I too now am curious how the pictures are ordered. Most of the threads do not contain every photo that was entered. So I was a bit bummed, but in a different way. Because I was unable to get online for several days, I didn't get to see all or vote first round. Here's my guess: if you didn't vote for your own photo, and no one else voted for it either, then it's likely it's not currently showing up. That, I was disappointed about. So my guess also is that they are showing up in some sort of order as to how many votes received. But if a lot of them only received *1* vote, then maybe no order to that at all. ??
