Ability to specify an order for renaming files

Hi there! Thanks for this awesome lib 😄

I’m trying to prefix files in a folder with indexes but I would like to be able to do it in a specific order, e.g.: in order of size, addition date, etc…

I would be willing to work in such a feature and submit a PR if you think it’s a good idea! I believe we could use Node’s fs.Stats Class properties to be able to specify an order-by property and do the ordering before mapping over the files array.

What do you think about this?

Work on this feature is in progress. In the next version you will be able to supply a file list via stdin, giving you full control over the files processed and their order. In this example, input comes from the output of find via sort:

$ find . | sort --reverse | renamer --find one --replace two

For the most precision, you could hand-roll a file containing one filename per line and pipe it into renamer.

$ cat file-list.txt | renamer --find one --replace two
