    YYYYMMDDHHmm is probably one of the most normal date-time formats, only slightly behind current ISO 8601. But adding hyphens for the extended format would definitely make it more readable.

      No, it absolutely isn’t outside the tech sphere

      It’s really not unless you’re a techie who’s used to naming files in away that promotes better sorting.

      The date format this uses should match with the one you have set in your system, which for most people will be DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY in the US. Because that’s what the user is used to seeing.

      If you think most people are used to seeing YYMMDDhhmmss then you are in a very tiny and very incorrect bubble lol
