For example, in my list I'd have Apple, Orange, Banana and the above RegEx would look for each of those words and, if found, move it to the beginning of the filename. As time goes on I could just add a new word to the list. This would save me the trouble of needing to execute this regex on each Word individually, as my list is growing quite lengthy.
