Seeing as I do a lot of AV editing I use this format to keep track of Audio files I do production on. YYYYMMDD Filename Version. It's often a case of working on a file and coming back to it weeks or months later, and in most cases there are multiple versions and revisions as I collaborate with my production partner.

It helps me keep track of the timeframe, what it is and which version so I can ensure rendered versions I'm using in other directories or as assets in other files are consistent and up to date.

The directories got quite messy and confusing initially until I adopted the ISO date format for this case.

No love for DD-YYYY-MM?

filename.`date +%s`

join south africa and (sorta) japan, use YYYY-MM-DD as a default - sorts well, zero ambiguity.. at least until some joker starts popularising YYYY-DD-MM, anyway

This is me but without the dashes. Haha I know l, what’s wrong with me..

But I’ve also started using 10/Aug in emails to make things crystal clear.

Anyway.

This is big pp idea and I like it.

Everyone talks big game about the file names but forget how important standardizing on log time stamps is too. When I’m able to pipe a bunch of logs into sort, I get so happy.

Facts. The sorting system for files inevitably makes YYYY-MM-DD more optimal. I tried to resist but it doesn't work.

I’ve always used it for everything

where is the Americans text

For speaking or writing it out going month then day feels natural, although I know it’s a regional thing. If you’re going number format, it should always go smallest to largest (DD-MM-YYYY) or largest to smallest (YYYY-MM-DD). For file names, definitely the latter so you can sort by alphabetical and everything is in order.

I'm a firm believer of 01 Jan 2023 for everything else
