My computer's filesystem stores several "date" metadata fields for each file, such as "date created" and "date modified", so I don't have to manually manage such things in the file name. I can simply sort by recently modified, recently created, etc.
And those can change - it's a local file system reference.
Windows historically has been really bad about this.
I have thousands of files in windows where the created date is actually last modified date - because the local file system updates on copy/move, or it gets altered by email/transfer systems, etc.
Really, would I have come up with my own naming system if the last mod and create dates were effective?
I have thousands of photos where the file system create time is years different than the metadata create time (what the camera stamped).
