What is a good file naming convention?

File naming best practices:

File names should be short but descriptive (<25 characters) (Briney, 2015) Avoid special characters or spaces in a file name. Use capitals and underscores instead of periods or spaces or slashes. Use date format ISO 8601: YYYYMMDD.

How do you name folders so they are in order?

To ensure that files are sorted in proper chronological order, the most significant date and time components should appear first followed by the least significant components. If all the other words in the file name are the same, this convention will allow us to sort by year, then month, then date.
