This answer states the Date field to be the older of either the Date Modified or Date Created unless the Date Taken column is populated, in which case it uses that. So in the image below, the first 3 files should be renamed to this (ignore the directory): I'm open to solutions using command prompt, 3rd party software, whatever.

So if I can get the Date string pre-pended to the filenames before I upload them, then in the DVD making software I can sort by file name and it will be a de-facto Date sort. Why? I need to upload these files to a DVD making software and have them processed chronologically, but the DVD making software doesn't look at the Date column so the only other option is to sort them by filename. Btw ssh command line interface to login to the NAS is your friend but takes some steeper learning curve but can do extreme complex mass renames. I've tried software like ReNamer and the Bulk Renaming Utility as outlined in this question's answers and while those allow you to append based on some date columns like Created Date and Modified Date, neither of those allow the use of the plain 'ol Date column. So even though you nas might have some functionality to do mass renames of files, primarely it is meant to be done from the client end.
The tricky part is the use of the Date column. I've got a list of a few hundred files that I need renamed by appending a modified version of the Date column to the front of the file name.
