Maybe I'm not understanding something, but it seems like it would not collate properly with mixed languages:

  202304abr22 - My Spanish appointment
  202304apr15 - My English appointment
  202304avr07 - My French appointment
If you placed the month at the end, it would:
  20230407avr - My French appointment
  20230415apr - My English appointment
  20230422abr - My Spanish appointment

I like that, and if day of week is relevant:

    20230915sepFRI
Or for a legibility/size tradeoff:
    2023.09.15.sep.fri
All that left is adding the Chinese zodiac year!
    2023.09.05.rab.sep.fri
Now I am just slightly bothered that the abbreviated words don’t form an isomorphic representation to the numeric. :(
    2023.09.05.3watrab.sep.3fri
There! 3rd Friday in September, 3rd Water Hare from the first in 1903! :)

(In the US we could name years in the form: 4th year of Roosevelt, etc.)

oh, you make a good point. I'm generally using it for monthly bank statements and whatnot so I'm not looking for fine grained collation, just grouping of "like with like", and i have some international accounts
