Sorry missed the notifications. Yes I prefer the year first especially in file names. Agreed that “best” is subjective.

Hmm that's actually interesting. I don't code but certainly for organising do that but hateuit visually compared to did/mm/yyyy. Interesting the brain gets programmed

I actually started with the *American format* due to being American 🤭 but in my adulthood I noticed that YYYY-MM-DD in the file name (same place in file name) always solved my “sorting” issues. Then I just grew used to that format as my “preferred” format when possible.

I think for it to be universal, it would need to be YYYY-Month name-DD otherwise we’re just moving the MM/DD vs DD/MM issue to another format for the unfamiliar people. 😔

Weird how little things can make such a difference. I still often number my folders so they're in the ordering want

Yep I do that too 😀
