Change folder name format to yyyy-mm-dd about github-backup HOT 9 OPEN

I don't see how is it better then dd-mm-yyyy?

Can you elaborate how would your proposal be more intuitive?

We backup last N days, not last N years. So I guess sorting makes more sense if date starts with day. Or am I missing something here?

Also yyyy-mm-dd still sorts by day so you are not losing anything. 🎉

I'm just used to yyyy-mm-dd... and like it because it maintains an absolute order by starting with the years as the first "scope" and then adds less significant features at the end of the file names. (Viewing those in normal file browsers that sort by filename by default).

@menski I understand that part. I don't understand the user perspective where you would like to obtain time ordering by clicking on the name. If you want that you can click on the "Last Modified" column and you would get the intended behavior.

If you guys insist on this we can do it, but not in this release since it requires a little bit more of work to do it in a way which does not break backwards compatibility for cleanup worker.
