I am trying to sort and/or copy folders and filenames under Windows 10. I am using a third-party software called ReNamer, which allows me to rename the folder however I want. I have two folders, called [AnyName1] AnyName2 and [AnyName3] AnyName 4. Is there anyway I could sort them so that it is arranged like this [AnyName2] AnyName1 and AnyName4 [AnyName3].
I want to be able to switch any name with the brackets with the one without the brackets. In addition, I want to be able to transform them by removing the brackets as well as adding by between the two names. Such as this:
AnyName 4 by AnyName 3
So far, I cam up with this: Replace expression "\A[(.?)](.)\Z" with "$2 by $1" (skip extension)
But it only lets me switch out with if the folders are only letters, not any name/string of the file. I want to be able to switch the words around regardless on how long they are each.

You could use the following rules:
1) Regular Expressions: Replace expression "\A\[(.*?)\](.*)\Z" with "$2 by $1" (skip extension)
2) Clean Up: Fix spaces (skip extension)
It will work like so:
[AnyName1] AnyName2 -> AnyName2 by AnyName1
[AnyName3] AnyName4 -> AnyName4 by AnyName3
[The] Knocks -> Knocks by The

Thanks for the reply but it still doesn't do anything for me.

You need to remove the double quotes from the expression and replacement pattern.

Okay now it works thanks.
Now what if I wanted it like this [AnyName4] AnyName3?
And if I wanted to revert them back?

Change the replacement pattern to "[$2] $1".
