I wrote the following script that does most of what I want.
The only thing it lacks is support for mass reorder.
#!/bin/sh
number=0
if test "$1" = -n; then
number=1
shift 1
fi
if test "$1" = --; then
shift 1
fi
if ! test $# = 0; then
cd -- "$1"
fi
if test $number = 1; then
n="$(ls -1 | wc -l)"
i=1
ls -1 | while read f; do
mv -- "$f" "00$(seq -w 0 $n | sed 1,${i}d | sed 1q)0000 - $f"
i=$(expr $i + 1)
done
fi
current="$(ls -1 | head -n 1)"
while mpv -- "$current"; do
index=$(ls -1 | grep -Fnx -- "$current" | cut -d : -f 1)
index=$(expr $index)
if test $index -ge $(ls -1 | wc -l); then
break
fi
current="$(ls -1 | sed 1,${index}d | sed 1q)"
done
