Are you saying you'd like to re-order filenames by create-date?
Just sort by create-date, and use 10Numbering and 7Prefix (depends on desired filenames)
Since we dont know your original filenames, OK to assume they're irrelevant?

Also, if you want to view only the filetypes you listed, put this in 12Filter:
*.mp4 *.3gp *.avi *.jpg
Just dont forget to put * back-in when you're done renaming everything

Assuming that 'few' might exceed 9, and you want filenames as file01.jpg file02.jpg :
Options/Ignore/FileExt=Unchecked
2Name=Remove
7Prefix=file
10Numbering:
Mode=Insert
at=4
Start=1
Pad=2
Incr=1
SORT your files so the oldest appear on top, and then select them for renaming

However, If you ALSO want to append create-dates for names like
file01_1980-12-16.jpg
file02_2011-01-01.jpg
#8AutoDate:
Mode=Suffix
Type=Creation(Current)
Fmt=YMD
Sep.=_
Seg.=-
Cent.=Checked
