      Came here to say this. I try to name all my docs in the YYYY-MM-DD-descriptive-name.ext format.

        I can see some advantages of that.

        I’m American though, so YYYY-DD-MM is the best I can do.

          for me, the section that changes the most goes last…

          in a whole year, the YYYY never changes, the MM changes only 12 times… i never implementing the day… there’s only so many possibilities i could have had for saved files in June. i just go straight to description

      I like that for files, but not for written documents. When I label things I try to use the most intuitive/least confusing way I can think of: DD mmm YYYY. This comment is posted on 23 NOV 2023, for example.
