Arbitrary ordering of files   

I would like to put the files in a folder into an arbitrary order, then 
append numerical or alphabetic prefixes to the filenames so that, in the 
future, sorting the files by name will recaprture the assigned order.  Does 
anyone know of a utility that'll help in doing this?

Regards, Yon
