Image numbering by date

[p_T]

I am sorting a bunch of images from a camera phone and would like to sort the into folders.

I have used the sort into sub folders "year-month" which are like below

2022-01
2022-03
2023-06

I then want to rename the files in these subfolders with date created "yyyymmdd" and then number # them sequentiality with the first number starting with the first image using the date created time and following on

20220124_001.jpg

I have the rules processing the right folders to sub folders and the renaming of the images but the numbering seams random and I don't understand how the numbering is finding its starting point or how to change it to number according to the date created time?

Any help appreciated if this is possible?

I assume you are using the number counter attribute? If so, do you have it set to use the lowest number or always increase?
