Rev- for renaming files according to folder name

I think that the following sounds like a good task for Rev; just want to make sure:
OS: WinXP SP3
About 1300 folders at same level; each folder with 10-200 files of type jpg,png,bmp,doc.
Would rename every file within folder to the name of that folder plus incremented number, i.e.
name_of_folder00001.jpg
followed by, potentially,
name_of_folder00002.doc.
Important: The files would be renamed and sorted by creation date only, so that
name_of_folder00001.jpg
would be newer than
name_of_folder00002.doc.
I'm pretty sure that I could apply the programming WD-40 to my brain and remember how to do this (would be a good exercise, also), but would appreciate any tips, warnings, etc.
Thanks, Kurt
