Sony Camera numbering files

I have noticed that recently the camera has started backfilling file numbers, in other words, if I take some photos, then save them to the computer - then delete, it reuses that number, which confuses the computer. I'm sure that it used to just keep increasing them, till it got to 9999, then start over. 

It's the sony camera, rather than the default Android one that I'm talking about. I've got the latest verison of the OS (as far as I know).

That's how it was designed to work, I agree with you, it SHOULD NOT work like that, this is a work around, transfer all the pictures to your PC but do NOT delete the last picutre, that way, the next time you take a picture(s) it will be in order

Thanks! I guess I'd just never deleted the last one before, as I usually transfer them to the computer & also leave them on the phone until it's getting too full. But I did have a bit of a tidy up the other day.
