YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS should be the canonical date format, since it sorts without any special collating order. Leave off a few fields and it still sorts right.

I don't ever need time in my records, just date, and I use a two-digit year because in the incredibly unlikely event that I were to survive to see the next century, I would at least hope to be retired by then. But yeah, if I were to write an invoice today, I'd name the file I081111 (more than one invoice would get alphabetic suffixes). Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"
