If you use Paris_Grand_Chess_Tour as a file name, and supply the date in the end, you may have Paris_Grand_Chess_Tour_2015-11-22.docx to sort before Paris_Grand_Chess_Tour_2016-06-14.docx automatically when looking at a list of files. Very practical!
And you would be correct to do so. ISO 8601specifies that dates should be written in the format YYYY-MM-DD where months and days are represented by two digit numbers.
