Then you just move everything into a new "20" folder.

Looks like you've worked on some source code a time or two.

Well if you're naming today's file 230810_file.jpg then you could just move this century's files to /20/230810_file.jpg once we roll over.

YYMMDD filename.ext

Windows auto sorts it so any folder or any code reading it reads it in order without needing anything special. It shortens the filename, it's fast to type on the number pad
