Photos revert to WP_000000 after factory reset - how do I restore to chronological order?

Problem as described in the title. Because photo numbering has reset, they have been given names like WP_000003 (1), and sit alongside photos taken months earlier. This doesn't look good in the folder and also confuses apps like Photos, which order by name rather than date. Does anyone have any idea how to continue where I left off, at, say, WP_000298? Should it be automatic?

No after a factory reset, it start back at WP_000000.

So when I get a new phone, will it start over yet again?

Yes
