I have about 2500 music files (most .wav, some mp1). All begin with two digits 01 thru 37, then the name of the song. I want to move the front two digits and place them at the end of the song name, i.e.,

beginning file name: 02TheWayYouLookTonight.wav
desired file name: TheWayYouLookTonight02.wav

How can I do this?

Currently, all files are in the same folder and in numerical order grouped by the first two digits. I want the files in alphabetical order with the two digits AFTER the name of the song immediately before ".wav".

If I have to do a two-step process (1st step: remove the first two digits; and, 2nd step: place the two digits at the end of song's name) that would be OK with me.

You will have to do this manually. There is no other option.
