    It doesn’t have to be superior in every case to fit some use cases better. They probably won’t ever need to work with hundreds of thousands of date stamps, so why should they select a date system based on that?

        I literally never do that. I don’t even know what type of file a person would save under just a date- screen grabs from security footage maybe? I use names, because I can already sort by the creation date and I won’t know what each file is without a name.

        Again, each person uses dates differently and it would be silly for me to prefer that one because it might be better when doing something I’ve never done.

          I often like to differentiate between edit date and creation date. Also depending on a file is transferred the date might be reset to the current date.
