YYYY-MM-DD is my favorite convention to name files to sort them in a chronological order when sorted.. I see your point when it comes to that.. It should in my opinion too be accepted as the international file naming convention if files are to be named with dates embedded in them..
All my time sheets since I ever know, I have named using the YYYYMMDD-Filename format.. Really easy to sort them out..

Date formats ** In Canada we like to switch up alot. US format when forced to because US/American systems need it (like we now use 2 character short forms for our Provinces and we didn't used to). I believe our official is DD-MM-YYYY, as appears in our passports, however according to Wikipedia..... Canada (All 3 main types are used in Canada - in French and in English) My favorite is still YYYY-MM-DD always seemed to make more sense to me. .....

I think US and Canada are perhaps the only two continents that use an American format? I know I used the DD-MM-YY format every other place I have been to at least so it took me a while to get used to the MM-DD-YY format..
