Re: Sorting files by first two digits

I think you can use an temporary rule to sort the files first - and then disable this rule afterwards again.

A) First rule, RegEx:
    Express: .+?(\d\d).+
    Replace: $1

B) Now click on the header of the NewName column to sort after this extracted numbers.
C) Then disable this RegEx rule again.
D) Now add your own rules.

HTH?

In fact, from what I see, taking advantage of that RegEx probably you wouldn't need to Serialize.

Just take a look on the result of the RegEx with no other rules, and see if it helps you...
