    Batch Rename using Manual Sort Order

      I have Bridge CC, and need to batch rename 300 odd images that have been manually sorted because they were shot with two cameras, but Batch Rename is using another sort order (possibly date shot).  Can I force Bridge to use the Manual sort order?

      TIA

          I'm Googling like mad and have just found an interesting fact.  I try very hard to sync the two cameras I use when covering events, and these are pro cameras (Canon 1DsMK3 and 1DMK4) so you'd expect it to be doable.  But Bridge never seems to get it quite right when asking it to sort in date created.  It appears that Bridge only does this to the nearest minute, and while I am most definitely not a 'pray and spray' photographer, I will obviously shoot several frames per minute in some situations.  My cameras hang from a Black Rapid dual harness, and I can swap cameras very quickly.

          So I would be interested if there is a script or other way to sort to the nearest second.

            Is your time displayed to 1/100 of a second?  (8:41:16)  If not this has been covered in several posts, and I will try to find them.  Or is it just the sort that is not obeying the time?
