Thanks for the detailed report. What do you mean by the counter being "random"? The files are handled in the order they are visited, which depends on the filesystem and is not always alphabetically correct.

However, the rearranged photos deviate from the original sequential (chronological) order. Consequently, when navigating through the converted photos, they exhibit time jumps, creating a rather frustrating browsing experience.

Is there a way to tell Organize to follow a strict handling order?
