How do you deal with file numbering?

I prefer the file prefixed with a number that indicates "air date". 01 being the first uploaded video. The default is by index and the top of the channel or playlist is number 01 which is the most recent.

I just use the publish date in the format of YYYY-MM-DD at the beginning of the filename so that they sort properly.
