I put the date at the beginning of my files so they sort chronologically. It looks like ‘touch’ will allow you to set different modification and access times, but I’m not sure how that will help you.

Sun, 30 Sep 2012 16:49:32 +0000 http://technosavvy.org/?p=728#comment-58386 Tim, Your are right about knowing enough to be dangerous. I use a Scansnap S1500M and Hazel in my paperless workflow. I was already using automated renaming, sorting and tagging of my files so I was excited to read what you wrote here. I would like to use an extension of it to change the “creation date” of my files so that they will sort appropriately by date when I browse for them in the finder or . I thought I could use the “touch” command in a shell script to apply the change of date and would like to include the day as well as month and year. What do you think? Do you see this working?
