yyyy/mm/dd, it's less ambiguous and it sorts nicely

Edit: so many replies suggesting using a hyphen as a separator, I'd like to compromise by using the oblique angle sign (⦧) which looks like a slash that becomes a hyphen in the middle. yyyy⦧mm⦧dd

    Beat me to it, except I’d do yyyy-mm-dd because some OSes throw fits about having slashes in file names. Way better than the “Group Project-final FINAL v3 PAUL USE THIS ONE.file” versioning system that people seem to use.
