How can existing files of photos be re-sequenced on the desktop?

You need to rename them in to the order you want (e.g. 001, 002, 003 etc.)

Hi Mark: Thanx for your quick reply. I assume that the ENTIRE file/photo name must be replaced by sequential digits (001,002,......).

No. Just prefix your file name with sequential digits and you'll be fine. I highly suggest you use leading zeros as in Mark's example, with enough zeros to plan for future growth. i.e. If you'll eventually have more than 999 photos, don't use a three-digit prefix. Use at least 4 digits or more.

Hi Rich: Thanx for the very helpful clarification. The new file names will be - 0001.JPG, 0002.PDF, 0003.PNG, etc.
