->> I have a many years of folders ( each folder is an assignment/shoot). The problem is that I names them all starting with the date. But I did the date in a format that would read for something shot on November 12, 2009....11-12-09 sample Shoot JSP
But now when I look at my backups using Files names to put them in order from oldest to newest I get a jumble of stuff from november 2009, 2008 ect..
How can I start naming in a better way and bulk change the thousands of folders i have already??
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance. |

->> Well for future reference, the better way to name the folders would be "YYYY-MM-DD" so when you arrange the folders by name in Finder/Explorer... they will be chronological.
Unfortunately I can't be of assistance with the mass renaming. |

->> PC or Mac? on windows you can always go to "view menu", "arrange by" and choose "date created". You might have to first go to the "choose details" option to add the date created field.
Hope this helps.
