A simple tip to help when renaming many files
Authored by: Satinder S Sidhu on Wed, Dec 12 2007 at 7:54AM PST

I have used a variation of this trick in iTunes for renaming songs imported from mp3 downloads: sort on song duration (Time) and rename without having the newly-named one jumping off to somewhere else, taking you along!

As I use column view almost exclusively in Finder, I have had to switch to list view on such occasions, but can now use this method even in columns.
