When I want to rename files I use Multi Commander's Multirename option. I use this instead of F2 because Multirename will rename the files in the order in which they're sorted in the folder, such as by size, name, date, et cetera.
But I would prefer to use F2 to rename files. Is there a way to get F2 to rename files in the order in which they reside in the folder? Or perhaps someone knows of a script I could use in conjunction with User Defined Commands?

You mean when you MOVE files and you append to the beginning/end of the name ?
It should process them in the order they are listed when you do the move

Thanks. I think the problem I'm having is that since what I input is prepended or appended to the existing filenames it will retain whatever naming scheme was originally used, and so retain the original sort order of the files.
Is there a way to use the F2 function so that what I input will replace existing filenames and add incremental numbers?
So, for example, I can input "ter001" and it will replace the filename "sdg4589"? Instead what it does is produce the filename "ter001sdg4589".
I don't like Multirename and would like to use the F2 function instead, so I'm trying to figure out a way to make it work for me.

If you use MultiRename function you can control the rename much more.
the Rename using Move function is a quick rename, that only support adding to beginning or end of filename
