How do I order the slides so they appear in the order I want them to?

Yeah, i'm looking for this too. It seems the default order of slides is by node ID. I tried changing the authored date of my slides to see if it would affect the order and it did not.

I tried to look for a solution inside of the project interface, but I finally had to resort to modifying the .module file. On like 841 of fpss.module I added "ORDER BY n.nid DESC" at the end of the query before the double quotes at the end. This orders the it so the newest slides show first from left to right or top to bottom. This is how it is working on mine and I can not confirm that this would be a universal fix, however I hope it may help you.

Also, if you change DESC to ASC, it does the opposite.

I added the following on line to the end of line 841

ORDER BY sticky DESC, created DESC

So if you make a slide stick it will stay at the top of the list otherwise the newer slides appear on top.

If you use:

ORDER BY n.created DESC

you can change the value under "Authoring Information > Authored on" to sort all of your slides, rather than just the first one.
