File sorting normally isn’t determined by the date format used. You’re probably thinking of other contexts.

Dates in the file names can be sorted by that date if you use the correct date format.

This is common to do.

Right, I thought this was about locale formats and the equivalent of `ls -t`. It didn’t occur to me that the sensicality of using a lexicographic date format in file names might be under contention.
