In each of the file managers, I chose View, Arrange (or sort) by Name,
Ascending.
It may be possible there are hidden (extra) fields used.
I'd very much like to know what's going on.
One think I have wondered: If YYYYMMDD is interpreted as a date, but
YYYY or even YYYYMM are not, could the collation sequence then come
out as observed.
Still, for someone like Mary, who's just added a date to her filename
and then the file seems to disappear (because there are so many files
that it is a long distance down the list), any explanation comes out
like a very, very lame geek excuse. Fortunately, some file managers
seem to work (so far!) as expected.
Cheers, JN

Could the sort be using a field other than the filename, such as sorting
by modification time? Most file managers let you sort by name, or by
size, or by modification time, or whatever.
