Well mine was derived from a slightly complex formula which I think Doug brought to our attention which was a number derived from the date, unless you put the date yy-mm-dd it won't sort chronologically, I find it fairly easy to read it backwards, but found deciphering Doug's code confusing, so that is why I adopted my method.

I have a fair idea when things happened, so I just have to go to the appropriate year and scroll down to find the event.

On the other hand if I want all my motorcycle photo's or all the pictures with water in them I use a keyword. In my botanic library I have all the images named with the botanic name so I can find all of a particular species.

I am about a month into keywording now and probably need to spend another couple of weeks before I feel I have reasonable consistency. Is it worth it? Probably not but if I can't find a particular image, there is no point in having it, nor having taken the image in the first place. So, while it isn't worth it, it has to be done. Bit like washing up, it's one of those waste of time chores that has to be done.
