I used yymmdd at the beginning of the name, as many have recommended, for a while. Alas my team is not very naming convention oriented, and they just looked at the files and it confused and alienated them. I also discovered it was not going to be worth the time to introduce underscores (especially since we do not frequently share files outside our little Mac-using workplace.) Abbreviations did not fly.I work in a school, and we frequently have to write to certain grade levels (or their parents), and I would put that number at the end - no go on that either. People were getting confused between the year of the class and the year the document was produced. So, what once was 060413_prnt_ltt_07 (right - that’s the letter we sent on April 13, 2006 to parents of the class of 2007) has reverted to Spring Junior Parent Letter. It does not sort as easily, I’ll have to rename it if I send it into the non-Mac world and want to be polite, I have to check the date modified to figure out what year I wrote it, etc. But at least my team is using the files again!
