But that's backward, unless you live in Europe. If

No, the US way is backward, or at least illogical (-:

Yes to both. They will eventually catch up and adopt the metric system
one day. :-)
I was taught the english system at school, but once I started work in
engineering and began to use the metric system is was so obvious it was
a more rational system to use. So easy to learn as well. 50 plus
years on I still occasionally compare imperial weights and measures,
but metric is always first choice.

I was only referring to the date format (-:! (Of which the US one is
neither large-medium-small nor small-medium-large.) As for the weights
and measures, they're not exclusive to the US: although legally we're
metric here in the UK, there are plenty who are militantly attached to
the imperial measures. (Some of which are different to the US ones,
confusingly having the same name - the gallon being the one that springs
to mind, but I think there are others. Or are used in different ways,
such as the inclusion of stones.) Personally, having been brought up
after the metric system was nominally brought into schools but also in
Germany, I'm more metric than many of my generation, but I still find
the inch more suitable for a range of measurements, think of people's
height in feet and inches, people's weight in stones and pounds (just in
pounds is as meaningless to me as in kilogrammes), and fuel consumption
in miles per gallon. (My last car returned 62 mpg on the last tankful
before it went to the scrappie. I liked that car!)

I had such a folder I'd probably call it Jan-1-19. I also

I don't think Mick meant he had a folder for 01 January, just that he
had one for January, which he _named_ 01 January to make it (and the
other similarly-named month folders) appear in order. (The names of
the months aren't in alphabetical order.)

Yes, that is what I meant.

I _do_ have folders named something like 2019\10\5, though not in my
images area.

All my image file names are named by 'year - number'
e.g. this year they start at 2019 - 00001
as of today the last image filed is 2019 - 8861

Categorising, naming, tagging, sorting, keywords or whatever is all
done in ACDsee Ultimate Pro.

Presumably that keeps "albums" (alba?), as files in a proprietary
format, that's not readable by competing similar software?

"Flobalob" actually means "Flowerpot" in Oddle-Poddle.
