I wrote the following script that does most of what I want.
The only thing it lacks is support for mass reorder.

#!/bin/sh

number=0
if test "$1" = -n; then
    number=1
    shift 1
fi
if test "$1" = --; then
    shift 1
fi
if ! test $# = 0; then
    cd -- "$1"
fi

if test $number = 1; then
    n="$(ls -1 | wc -l)"
    i=1
    ls -1 | while read f; do
        mv -- "$f" "00$(seq -w 0 $n | sed 1,${i}d | sed 1q)0000 - $f"
        i=$(expr $i + 1)
    done
fi

current="$(ls -1 | head -n 1)"
while mpv -- "$current"; do
    index=$(ls -1 | grep -Fnx -- "$current" | cut -d : -f 1)
    index=$(expr $index)
    if test $index -ge $(ls -1 | wc -l); then
        break
    fi
    current="$(ls -1 | sed 1,${index}d | sed 1q)"
done
