How to move the first 15 characters of filename to the end

I love the Renamer utility, but I can not figure out how to do this. I have a bunch of folders and files that have the first 15 characters at the beginning of the file or folder name that I want to move to the end of the filename.

I want to be able to move the filename characters from this: 

satow [1973] - movie1.avi
satow [1984] - movie2.avi
satow [1965] - movie3.avi

to look like this:

movie1 satow [1973] - .avi
movie2 satow [1984] - .avi
movie3 satow [1965] - .avi

has anyone figured out how to do this?  I would be very grateful for any solution.

Many thanks...

FROM:
satow [1973] - movie1.avi
satow [1984] - movie2.avi
satow [1965] - movie3.avi
TO:
movie1 satow [1973].avi
movie2 satow [1984].avi
movie3 satow [1965].avi
DO:
1) Rearrange: Split by delimiters " - ", New pattern "$2 $1" (skip extension)

See the wiki for more >>> http://www.den4b.com/wiki/ReNamer:Rules:Rearrange

If you really want to keep the dash
TO:
movie1 satow [1973] - .avi
movie2 satow [1984] - .avi
movie3 satow [1965] - .avi
add them in the 'New Pattern' yourself.
DO:
1) Rearrange: Split by delimiters " - ", New pattern "$2 $1 - " (skip extension)

HTH?

Just to clarify: the Rearrange rule is not available in v5.50 but it is in the current beta.

Reading the Wiki I was confused about this ... they obviously do things the other way around here. lol

Ah! The starting page does say that the wiki is based on the beta.
