Import Import file numbers not in sequential order

[cavics]

Lightroom Version Number

13.4

Operating System

1. Windows 11

VERY longtime Lightroom user, so I know what settings to use (hopefully).

Most every time I import photos from my SD card, the file names (numbers) are out of sequence. This happens regardless of the card, camera or catalog.

I have to change the view to capture order and rename the files in sequence.

Also, the start number needs to be manually set based upon the last file that I imported (adding one). It does not automatically default to the next number in the sequence.

My import setting is shown below.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Rename after import and your import preset will work correctly. Just select previous import and then use rename.

You need to make sure the "Previous Import" special collection is sorted by "Capture Date" and not "Added Order"
