.Sh DESCIPTION
.Pp
.Nm
is a convenient utility for re-ordering numerically indexed files, i.e. files with names beginning with
.Ql 01.\ ,
.Ql 02.\
and so forth.
Among other things, it is useful for managing disk-based playlists.
Given any number of files as arguments,
.Nm
will open a temporary text file in your
.Ev EDITOR ,
in which you can re-order the files by re-ordering lines.
Save the file and exit the text editor to change the names of the files to reflect the new order.
The
.Fl n
and
.Fl s
control the format of the numeric indices expected and created by
.Nm .
Their respective default values are 2 and
.Ql .\ .
Note that
.Fl n
and
.Fl s
cannot be used to change the format of existing numeric indices.
Such functionality is not provided by
.Nm .
