I deleted my last post as I remembered, I have thousands of photos by date taken, so If you mean naming folders so you can sort them in file explorer, chronologically the best format is:

yy-mm-dd

It’s exact in its sorting

If you name your folders by dd-mm-yy or mm-dd-yy
The years will never be in order.
All the months (or days) will group together when sorting so the years will never be in sequence.

Years are unique so sorting by yy-mm-dd will always remain chronological.
Months and days repeat throughout time, years don’t.

Also keep in mind that in copying or moving files from one location to a different place Windows tends to create a new folder first with the computer's current date and time before moving/copying the files into it. The 'other' place can be a different folder or a different drive. The file date and time doesn't change.

As for "Date Released", that is a choice to add the column when right-clicking the column headings in File Explorer.

Using mp3Tag.de on some .mp3 test files, only the following mp3 Extended Tag Values for "ReleaseTime" appears to work when using Explorer to show "Date Released" (I don't know about other tagging programs).

Acceptable format values when using mp3Tag.de, included year only, year-month, year-month-day, year-month-day Time in 24Hr format with hour:min:sec .
YYYY, YYYY-MM, YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS

I guess the actual question should have been is "DATE RELEASED", in folder view, a NUMERICAL COLUMN or a TEXT column, my bad.
antspants and others: The problem I'm having is with a program called MP3Tag, ver. 3.27a. I created a column called "DATE RELEASED". When creating this column, you have three choices as far as "TYPE" is concerned, 'TEXT', 'CHECK', and 'MULTI". There is a place at the bottom of the window, "CUSTOM LIST VALUES" that you can "MANAGE" but I have no idea how to use it unless this is where you change the "FIELD" values, if that be the case, I'm lost. As of now I can get the "DATE RELEASED" value in an export using "CSV" and it will work in Excel. I mirrored the column name from the choices you have in adding columns in a folder, but I had no idea whether the column would accept a text or a numerical value because I had never used it before. I noticed that das10 has the information in "METADATA" which is available when recording a song but not available when ripping a CD and is shown in "YEAR" in a folder view. I guess should ask antspants how he got to the metadata and what or how he converted the DATE column to DATE RELEASED column. The DATE RELEASED column is STRICTLY used for the ALBUM RELEASE DATE. I realize this is not the place to be talking about MP3Tag, but it does coincide with Win 11.
