Lightroom classic stared export naming process

Question

I use Lightroom Classic for exporting for my clients. Lets say i export 1000 photos and i have stared 100 of them for an album setup. How can i export the stared photos in another envelope, BUT with the same name that i have given them in the batch export of the 1000 photos????

because if the client wants to make changes i have to use from the big batch, not the stared ones.

do i make any sense???

regards,

It sounds like the underlying problem is that you are adding a sequential number during export, and that makes it difficult to reconcile client choices to the filenames that the photos have in your catalogue.

I'll assume you need this sequential number for some reason. But you might simply export with your existing filenames.

But let's assume you need the sequence number to set the order in the web pages or make it easy for the client, In the export renaming, why not do something like put the sequence number first and before the real filename - Sequence # (1) Filename, for example. That will sort by the sequential number, which will also be very obvious to the client.
