It looks like you want each photo file to have a description of an event as
the file name. However, XP will sort (or list) files by
numerical/alphabetical order. So your files will be listed in your folder
(and on a CD) as follows:

after baby arrive
having baby
photo of mommy pregnant

Obviously not the correct order, but a is before h and h is before p. What
you want to do to have them in the "your" order, but still keep a different
name for each file, is to add a number and then a space in front of your
names. Right click on the photo and click on Rename on the opening menu.
Then type in:
001 photo of mommy pregnant
002 having a baby
003 after baby arrive
for each of your file. Then the number in front will control the order, not
the name of the event.

To do this with photos "out of your order", open the folder. Move the
thumbnails with your mouse to place them in the order you want. Then start
renaming by right click on the first thumbnail and click on Rename and add
001 and a space in front of the first one, etc.
