The present invention provides an image display apparatus and an image
display method adapted for the apparatus. The apparatus stores a
plurality of image files and metadata of each of the image files. The
metadata includes a selection count and a weighted value of the image
file. The weighted value is calculated according to the selection count.
The image display method includes steps of: receiving image selection
signals; receiving an image display signal; reading the weighted values
of selected image files to generate a list in an order according to the
weighted values; updating the selection counts of the selected image
files; calculating the weighted values of the selected image files
according to the updated selection counts, and storing the updated
selection counts and the calculated weighted values as metadata; and
displaying the selected image files according to the list.
