YYYY-MM-DD is the only acceptable date format, as commanded by ISO 8601.

For file names, absolutely.
When I’m asking what date it is I typically know the current year.

I can lie under the table, puking my guts out and still remember the year.
You need more training, son.

Largest to smallest unit of time. It just makes sense.

Sorting by date would be so much better with yyyymmdd .

If you have years of files named similarly with the date, you will love the ISO standard and how it keeps things sorted and easy to read.

I have autohotkey configured to insert the current date in ISO 8601 format into my filenames on keyboard shortcut for just this reason. So organized. So pure.

“There shall be no other date formats before ISO8601. Remember this format and keep it as the system default”
