What naming pattern can I use for sequential file naming (photos) when only their relative sequence is known?

photos

I got some old scanned photos and I want to put them in correct order. Unfortunately, I have no possibility to find out the exact order, only relative one like:

"hm, this photo was surely taken after this one"

and organize them step-by-step by manually changing numbering again and again. Is there any program (best free or opensource), where could I interactively put the photo in correct order straightaway (maybe by changing the order by dragging with mouse) and finally apply some file renaming to keep the file order?

thank you in advance

PS: running Windows (XP and 7), but if you know something for linux, let me kno too, please
