Renumbering macros for palette ordering?

[MitchellModel]

A response to a recent post of mine ([Feature Request] Smarter Palettes Peter pointed to trigger:Status Menu and trigger:Macro Palette to show that prefixing macro names with two digits and a parentheses would control the order in which the macros appear on a palette. Has anyone come up with a macro or trick for renumbering a set of macros when a new one is added or an existing one deleted?

I have a question posted about a syntactical issue I’m having with updating kmmacros/kmactions files, and when I get a response to that, I can write something. I can do everything except actually save the changes to disk. A minor but critical part.

All renaming is done by the editor, so it's just like you typed real…
