What I use in File Manager is: YYYY-MM-DD_HH:MM TT When it comes to naming files though, I use YYMMDD-HHMM, always at the start of the name. And this is exclusively for my purposes only, has served me well for several decades now. For the sake of brevity, and because I didn't want to go into this the way you have now forced me to, I limited my reply to pointing out that the traditional MMMMMDDYYYY or MMMDDYYYY method no longer makes much sense. Probably never did. -- John C.
