Hi there,
I am a newbie with linux, but I already fell in love with digiKam for its
capabilities and its complete integration of pretty everything for image
managing in just one program.

I also love the capability of the batch renamer of adding almost any
information in the file name. Still, you cannot sort as you prefer the files
before renaming. For example, one thing I do to organise the photos is to have
filenames with a progressing number at the end so that the most recently
created files have a greater number.

But, alas, to achieve this, I'm compelled to make a double renaming process: in
the first process, the files to rename are sorted on the basis of their
original names, so I make a first rename including the timestamp in the files
and then, I make a second renaming process as now the file name order, due to
the presence of the timestamp in the file name itself, respect a date order.

It'd be nice if when renaming you could sort the files accordingly not
necessarily to the original filename, but accordingly to other criteria, such
as the creaton date, modification date and so on. Wouldn't it?

It's just an idea...

Well done, anyway.
digiKam definitely rocks

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
The program should give the possibility to sort the files accordingly to a
user-defined criterion before renaming and not oblige the user to accept the
default (and not changeable) sorting order, i.e. by filename
