Sorting pics by redundant picture number
I work at a fire department that has a large database of pictures going back several decades. The pics have every name under the sun, the numbers mostly are dictated by the camera but a great number are also given descriptive names such a "Bob at the fire on main street", all of which isnt really a problem.
The problem is that there are copies of the pics, and copies of copies, and copies of copies of copies, and...well you get the point. So a LOT of the pics (maybe even more than the original pics themselves) are redundant and have a parentheses at the end...such as "Bob at the fire on main street (2)", "Bob at the fire on main street (3)" indicating that the pic is redundant.
How do I sort so all of those pics in parentheses are at the beginning/end so I can easily erase all of the redundant garbage?
I've been manually doing it for 3 hours and havent even made a dent.
Help! Please!
