Script to change date/time

Hi everybody!
I need to perform a task with a script but I have no idea how to do it, I hope someone could help me:
- on my linux pc I have many folders with movies, tv shows, toons, ecc.
They are shared by a dlna server to my panasonic tv where I can browse and see them.
The problem is that they are sorted with date/time only and there's no way on the TV or on the dlna server to change the sort method to alphabetical.
What I need is a script that changes date/time (no matter to when, but every file should be 1 min or 1 hour or one day more than the previous) according to the alphabetical order, within each subdirectory of a master path.
Can you please help me?

Thanks in advance and best regards!

Alex

The "date" command accepts a user specified date/time, and converts it as you wish. See the manpage. Here is an example

Code:

date -d "01 jan 2010 00:02" +%F_%T

Use some variables, and increment in a loop - use that to rename your files.

I don't want to rename the files, I need to change their date/time.
