Use exiftool to rename the files based on the creation date:
http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/#filename
The corresponding Fedora-package is perl-Image-ExifTool.
Try
dnf install perl-Image-ExifTool
or
dnf install /usr/bin/exiftool
Another helpful tool in cases like the OP's is jhead (Package jhead), a
tool which allows to manipulate jpgs' exif data. I am using it to
achieve similar purposes as the OP in shell scripts.
