Automatically name notes and update the names

Help
1

What I’m trying to do

I have notes, that I name chapter x, where x stands for a number. For example I have the following notes:

chapter 1
chapter 2
chapter 3
…
chapter x

Now I want to automate the naming of the notes. So if I create a new chapter, its name should be set automatically. But I also want to be able to add chapters in between. For example if I want to add a new chapter between chapter 2 and chapter 3, the new notes name should be set to chapter 3, while the previous chapter 3 should be renamed to chapter 4. The same should apply to all following chapters.

I’m open to use plugins, if needed. Does anyone have any suggestions, on how to do this?

Things I have tried

I searched on google, but didn’t find anything that suits my situation.

I was about to recommend Longform, but from the plugin’s GitHub issues page I can see it’s quite buggy… I myself steered clear of it…
You’d need a plugin that does the rearrangement by itself or a different app altogether.

Alternatively, someone could be tempted to write a Templater script that does what you need.

I had a short look at Longform and I don’t think it can do what I need. Rearranging the notes is also possible in vanilla obsidian. What I want is to update the names of the notes automatically.
