Good to know! Thanks for filing the bug.
This feature would be a huge benefit to people who want to reorder files
(usually image files, since the content is obvious from the thumb nails)
visually by dragging and dropping them at desired places and to rename
them in that new order --- I can attest to it since I have been through
this experience of having to arrange hundreds (almost a thousand) images
scanned from negatives. Fortunately, I discovered that it was possible
in Windows, albeit in a very restricted manner.
