Ah! The folder name is still human readable, just with a date out front: “2019 open education conference” for example. Putting the year in the name is helpful

Ah! The folder name is still human readable, just with a date out front: “2019 open education conference” for example.
Putting the year in the name is helpful because the year you did the thing may differ from from the created/last modified date. At the gallery, for example, these folders go back to the 1950s.
Even for more recent projects, I find myself adding to old folders from time to time (converting document formats etc), or not recognizing that a handful of files represent a coherent “project” until a year after I created the first one.
So it’s useful to be able to swap between sorting by file-system time and “actual” time. It prevents alphabetical sorting, but if I know enough of the name for alphabetical sorting to be useful I can usually just use a search.
Agreed re: Downloads, although it can take some time to get to it.
Edit: I also see others talking about having “archive” folders. The date system makes that mostly unnecessary.
