When multiple images are uploaded at once the first image on the upload page is not the first image temporally, it's the image used to drag the collection into iNat

Windows decides what order to give them to iNat and Windows sends the file you used for dragging first.
Since this is caused by Windows, not iNat, it’s not technically a bug with iNat. I’m going to mark it solved, but see this feature request for more related discussion: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/sort-by-date-or-file-name-during-upload/1949
