Lexical sorting (string sorting/alphabetical order sorting) is what I believe they were referring to when talking about file names.

The fact that you don’t have to do any parsing of the string at all, just do a straight character-by-character alphabetical sort, and they will be sorted by date, is a great benifit of this date scheme. That means in situations where no special parsing is set up (eg, in a File Explorer windows showing a folders contents sorted alphabetically) or where your string isn’t strictly date only (eg, a file name format such as ‘2025-05-02 - Project 3.pdf’) you can still have everything sorted by date just by sorting alphabetically.

Its this benifit that is lost when rolling over to 5-digit years.

Yup, that’s exactly what I was thinking about when I commented lol

Why are you using decimal degrees to nanometre levels of precision. You do not need 14 decimal points of precision with lat-long coords.

If you’re using the *arr apps (Sonarr/Radarr/etc) for managing the sourcing and downloading of your torrents, they natively support using hard-links for “moving” the torrent files to their required location in the media server directory structure. It’s a hardlink instead of a symlink as well which also means the copies don’t rely on each other. They can each be moved/renamed/deleted without breaking the other file. Trash guides is a really helpful guide for setting up the *arr apps properly which includes a section on hard-links. https://trash-guides.info/
