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

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.
