LP side two track numbering to follow from side one

Mac Big Sur Audacity 2.4.2

I am copying my record collection to my Mac mini. I copy the first side of my LP record with Audacity and export multiple to a folder, without problems.

the tracks will copy with serial number 01, 02, 03 etc.

Then when I copy and export multiple of the second side of the record Audacity starts the serial number count again from 01 which I then go through the folder files and manually amend to keep the album track sequencing correct.

Is there anyway of getting Audacity to begin serial numbering from a specific inputted value?

Hope this makes sense, thanks and regards Des

The easiest solution is to name one of the exports "album-name Side 1 - <track number>" and the other "album-name Side 2 - <track number>", then it doesn't matter that both start numbering from 1.
