Rearrange Name

I've looked through other posts but I'm afraid I just don't understand how to use the rearrange option.

I'm trying to take files formatted like this:

Mickey Mouse - (1929) The Barn Dance

and move the year to the end:

Mickey Mouse - The Barn Dance (1929)

but everytime I try to use rearrange, it's inserting random numbers and I'm just not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Rearrange rule may get a bit confusing for the first time users.

The configuration that you need to use is:

Split using: Exact pattern of delimiters
Delimiters: " - |(|)"
New pattern: "$1 - $4 ($3)"

(Enter without the surrounding quotation marks)

This will turn "Mickey Mouse - (1929) The Barn Dance" into "Mickey Mouse - The Barn Dance (1929)".

Note that you may have some duplicated spacing in the converted name, so just add a Cleanup rule with "Normalize spaces" and "Fix spaces" options to remove those extra spaces.

You can check out the documentation and examples on the wiki:
