Lightroom Classic numbering photos out of sequence

Hallo JAnetinNJ. I have exactly the problem you have! The Pictures appear in the right sequence, but the number they get i, in the sequence (I chosed 001 starting by 1) is absolutely random! From the answers you got, I'm not sure you had the right answer. Do you still have the same problem? 

Thank you all for responses.  I have never had to use 2-3 digits for sequence before to number my photos.  I will give it a try on my next import.  I do have it set to import by capture time.  The numbering sequence seems to be totally random.  

Hopefully, that will solve the issue, because it's driving me crazy!  

I have also been having this issue recently.  I made the mistake of trying to renumber the photos outside of Lightroom which resulted in unlinking all my edits to all my photos :S

P.S. a future issue, dates sorting oddly. you would be better naming by the syntax YYYYMMDD as opposed to MMDDYY (dashes or underscores optional), Some rename by YYYYMMDD_hhmmss

Your sequance number needs to be 2, perhaps 3 digits.

i.e

001, 002, 003, 004, 005, 006, 007, 008, 009, 010...etc

not

1,2,3, 4, 5,6, 7, 8, 9..10, 11..etc

that 10, coming before 2, in sort order, will the 1 in the number 10 comes before the 2, hence the sort becomes, 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, ... eventualy 2, etc

Good point. I always use four digits starting with 0001.

I don't see that issue here. In the import screen, lower right corner, is the "Sort By" set to capture time? That's all I can think of checking before you do the import and LrC renames and renumbers your images.
