This is my primary reason for advocating yyyy-mm-dd (regardless of including hh:mm:ss) in my work environment. I always feel it's very simple to explain things like "you can sort by name and it's automatically sorted by date" and it's just unbelievable the amount of pushback I get. This coming from users having trouble finding files from a certain time period, as their timestamps might be different due to copying/modifying. Also easy to convert to INT (i.e. yyyymmdd/20210226) for use as a partition key or FK for a date dimension.
