File renaming incorrect when importing

[miker1962]

I have been using Lightroom Classic for several years now.  I like to modify my filenames when I import, with the "Custom Name - Sequence" option.  I key my custom name into the dialog field in the Renaming Panel, and things were working fine.  The photos would import in the order I have them using the custom name, and starting with the sequence number in the Renaming Panel (Custom Name - 01, Custom Name - 02, etc).  A year or so ago (late 2022, early 2023 maybe), my photos started importing and assigning a very random sequence.  For example, the 17th photo in my import list would be "Custom Name - 01", the 4th photo would be "Custom Name - 02", the 22nd would be "Custom Name - 03", and on and on.  I've scoured the app looking for a box to check or uncheck, with no solution so far.  Any ideas?

I found a workaround ... import the photos using the original filename and they import in the same sorted order.  Good.  Then in Library mode, highlight all those photos I just imported, and choose Library>Rename Photo>   From here you can choose a renaming scheme.  I chose custom name and the number at which to start the sequence, and clicked Go.  It renamed my photos in the correct (identical) sequence
