Sequential File Name Numbering

[VCMLB]

I am trying to number file names sequentially. It works, but not how I would
like. I am trying to number file names as: Filename (10), Filename (11),
Filename (12)... What I get is: Filename (10), Filename (2), Filename (3)...
How do I do what I want?

this free program gives you total power over renaming fileshttp://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php

its a great tool

Looks like a sorting issue: when you list file names in sorted order,
they are sorted alphabetically. In this way, you get 1,10,2,...

How to solve: always use same number of digits -> 01, 02 etc.

Because the digits are not numbers, they are characters.

If you had File1, File2, File11, File25 and converted the digits to letters,
you'd have ("b" = blank)

FileAb
FileAA
FileBb
FileBE

Basic rule: If you can't do arithmetic on them, the digits are not numbers,
they are characers.
