Let's say I have 500 DVD's. Each of them are numbered in DVD Profiler with Collection #'s 1-500. Then I get a new DVD and would like to make it #250 because it belongs next to #249. I then want the DVD's #250-500 to shift down one number. Is this possible?


An easier option is to right click on the title which is currently numbered 250, select the Insert Collection Number option from the menu, and select OK from the popup message box.  Titles 250-500 will be renumbered to 251-501 and 250 will be available for your next addition.

I think you can do it automatically.
1/ make a backup of your database if the result is not what you want
2/create new dvd as number 250 -> you have two "250"
3/menu collection/reassign collection number/eliminate duplicates

I am pretty sure he would still have to pick an 'Order by' option and none of the options is what he wants.

No, I just tested it, and it works as I said. Options are only for reassigning all collection numbers. But I agree that rdodolak's method is simplier.
