Subject: File naming convention



The City currently uses a convention for naming files that begins with the date in MMDDYYYY format.


This does not permit chronological sorting as it would if the convention rearranged the date in this order: YYYYMMDD. Chronological sorting is important to file maintenance of many people who track City documents. Some have suggested that we go to this
 format with the year first.


Has this suggestion for a new file naming convention been rejected?


Thanks very much.
