YYYY-MM-DD (honestly without dashes) is the only helpful format.

If you name all your files with this as a suffix then your files automatically sort versions of themselves in order when sorting by name.

You mean as a prefix, right?

Came here to say this, I use DD.MM.YY in day-to-day stuff, but for files it's either YYYY_MM_DD or YY_MM_DD, the automatic ordering is beautiful

Yeah this method is superior for digital filing. I can't imagine the sorting clusters I'd have to go through to find what I want any other way
