YYMMDD is how a start my file names. It'll work great for another 75 years or so.
Then you just move everything into a new "20" folder.
So your saying to name files
YY/yy/MM/DD/file_name.jpg
/20/23/08/10/New File(2) - Copy - Copy - Copy.pdf
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
Well if you're naming today's file 230810_file.jpg then you could just move this century's files to /20/230810_file.jpg once we roll over.
