Well, not regex, just programming in script. I assume the files are in two subtrees or have some name change, and there is a way you want them ordered, so we know who wins on collision? You could name them with temporary fractions with a decimal point and then list them, number them and rename them if they are not name right, starting from the top pulling them up, so there are no collisions.
