I have large number of scanned old family pics.  Other programs such as Family Tree Maker genealogy cannot read the EXIF dates and will only sort by alpha file name.  I need to batch rename them incrementally to force sorting sequence.  It is easy to add a sequence at the end but I need it at the front of the filename.

You can drag to rearrange the renaming tokens in whatever order you want, so simply drag the Sequence token to the beginning of the filename template. You can also type text before or after any of the tokens.
