I have a large number of images (many hundreds) in chronological order (numerically named). I need to add them to a table one after the other, in the correct order. Will I have to do that manually or is there a more elegant way?
 
If I understand what you are asking, you just want a text list of all the file names?

Open Terminal and navigate to the folder with the images, then enter "ls >~/Desktop/images.txt" (without the quotes). This will give you a text file images.txt on your desktop with a list of all the image names. Now just import that text file to Numbers and sort/manipulate however you want.
