This may be a little odd question. Can any of the file browsers
(konqueror, nautilus) let a user reorder the files in a folder by
dragging them to a certain position and then to rename the ordered files
automatically with a file pattern?
You can do this very easy with the ng-xim program.

1. Press Ctrl-d, and enter into the desired directory.

2. Press Shift+F12 (or select small pictures mode from the view menu). So
you can drag the pictures, and make the desired order.

When the order is done by drag and drop using the thumbnail view, you can
change to single picture mode with a mouse click on a small picture.
You can check the order as a movie in single picture mode by pressing up or
down arrow keys. The next click on the picture will return to the thumbnail
view.
If the jpg files are in number of folders, you can see them together by
opening the parent directory with a right mouse click.
With file name %+(001)_%d_%f%e you can replace them into a new directory
together. ( %+(001):count up, %d:directory name, %f:file name, %e:ext name )
dir1/a.jpg - 001_dir1_a.jpg
dir1/c.jpg - 002_dir1_c.jpg
dir1/b.jpg - 003_dir1_b.jpg
dir2/c.jpg - 004_dir2_c.jpg
dir2/a.jpg - 005_dir2_a.jpg
dir2/b.jpg - 006_dir2_b.jpg
If you use the pictures many times, copy them into a collection. So you can
get a lot of other possibilities.
