Right now (v41) with file name template Screencast_%d_%t we get something like Screencast_08-31-2023_04:07:24 AM.

Would be nice to have the possibility to use ISO 8601 format, something like Screencast_%Y-%m-%d_%T (Screencast_2023-08-31_04:24:32). Not sure why here %d is MM-DD-YYYY, but on date command is DD. Also, the MM-DD pattern: I'm using an English interface, but a latin regional setup:

This way all the files would be listed naturally by time of creation.

GNOME Shell 3.36.9, Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS, x11.

It would actually be super cool if the file name template took all the date format choices (or the ECMAScript date time format specifiers). There are a number of things that dislike filenames with colon in them so I would prefer to just use epoch time in seconds.
