Hello,

When you want to rename multiple files it would be nice to be able to
change the order of the files in the list inside the renamer with a
drag&drop method or up&down buttons or any other intuitive way. So, when
you want to prefix files with numbers (eg. ##-filename), you just fix
the order as you wish and then apply the numbering renaming task.

For example, you may want to number these 3 files : filename1, filename2
and filename3. When you select them in thunar, they are added in the
renamer's list in the order they were in thunar's list. If you have
ordered them by name they show up in the renamer's list ordered by name,
if you have ordered them by date they are passed ordered by date and so
on... However, you may want to number them as 01-filename3, 02-filename1
and 03-filename2. So, in these situations it's really handy to be able
to change manually the order of the files in the renamer's list.

Have fun,

Petros
