Renaming Files causes list to jump to top

SuBarNYC First off, I'd open the document library or folder with the files you're renaming. Next, I'd click the ellipsis (...) next to the current view name and select "Edit current view".

From there, I'd head to the "Sort" section and change the sort order to a column unaffected by renaming, such as "Name" or "Created", in your preferred order. Moreover, I could add extra sort columns if necessary. Subsequently, I'd click "OK" to save the modified view settings.

This way, by sorting on columns like "Name" or "Created", the list order should remain stable despite renaming files. However, if the issue persists after these changes, I'd recommend submitting a support ticket to Microsoft. There might be an underlying problem requiring their technical team's assistance.
