Yeah, also generally very helpful for documents from banks etc.

(That's a personal pet peeve of mine when people don't do it like YYYY-MM but e.g. 1-Jan-2024. Who wouldn't love to have their documents sorted in a way that it starts with the first day of every month, then all the second days and so on ...)

https://joplinapp.org/ does this on it's export files btw ... ๐Ÿ˜“

My computer's filesystem stores several "date" metadata fields for each file, such as "date created" and "date modified", so I don't have to manually manage such things in the file name. I can simply sort by recently modified, recently created, etc.

And those can change - it's a local file system reference.

Windows historically has been really bad about this.

I have thousands of files in windows where the created date is actually last modified date - because the local file system updates on copy/move, or it gets altered by email/transfer systems, etc.

Really, would I have come up with my own naming system if the last mod and create dates were effective?

I have thousands of photos where the file system create time is years different than the metadata create time (what the camera stamped).
