Default rename photo by random size

Is there a program that can rename a directory of photos randomly?

Perhaps by size?
Or by last access?
Or by number of colors.
Whatever.

Almost none have exif so rename by exif would be nice but won't work.

Most renames like iv seem to rename based only on file name.


"Randomly" might make it tricky, but for all of my bulk renaming chores
I turn to Bulk Rename Utility.
https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php

If I wanted to rename based on size, I'd simply click the size column
header, then apply an incrementing serial number to each file as a
prefix. For example, once the files have been sorted by size or date
accessed, I'd specify a prefix of 101 or 1001, depending on the number
of files, increment 1, separator " - ", and let'er rip. Later, if you
want to name them by a different criteria, you can easily remove the
serial number, do the sort another way, and reapply a serial number. BRU
is insanely configurable.
