Sort by

> [@ipqp23](#):
>
> modified date

then apply Convert\>Tag-Filename  
Format string: $num(%\_counter%,3) \_ %\_filename%

Or if you want to create the filename from scratch

> [@ipqp23](#):
>
> with %artist% - %title%.

then apply Convert\>Tag-Filename  
Format string: $num(%\_counter%,3) \_ %artist% - %title%
