'New Name' sorting doesn't work in Multiple rename tool

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Confirmed -
although "not working" seems to be more "not implemented".

Usage example for testing both cases:
  • - use Ctrl+B branch view to select files from different dirs
    - use [YMD]_[N] as rename template

You cannot sort by "new name", you can't even click on its column! Why? The reason is that in some cases, e.g. when using a counter [C], the sort order depends on the location of the file in the list. Therefore it's not always possible to sort by new name because the field contents depend on the position.

So this thread should be moved to TC7 Behaviour which will not be changed, shouldn't it?
