YYMMDD is how a start my file names. It'll work great for another 75 years or so.

Looks like you've worked on some source code a time or two.

YYMMDD filename.ext

Windows auto sorts it so any folder or any code reading it reads it in order without needing anything special. It shortens the filename, it's fast to type on the number pad
