Thank you folks!
I moved my songs to the songs folder and it now makes more sense.

Deb.
what i do start of each new year is create a new songs
folder for that year SEPERATE FROM ANY PG PRODUCT.
so for 2022 its called SONGS2022.
then within that folder i have sub folders for each song created.
so lets say i have a song called "airedale rock"
(i like airedale dogs lol .sadly wife and i lost last one to old age.)
thus the sub folder , say created in april 2022 ..
would be named AIRROCKAPR22.
makes back ups simple.
best
om
ps seperate within the songs folder i have one more
sub folder called TEMPLATES 2022.
containing all my biab/rb and reaper daw templates.

FWIW, I do dates for some things and I usually start with the year, then optionally month and date as numbers, then any description. This way, things always sort in date order, e.g.:
2021Songs/
20210523-HolidayPhotos/
Not everyone likes dates ordered like that, but it works for me :-)

It's international standard and logical with most significant numbers first, i.e. yyyy-mm-dd 
On the latest Win version

I use yyyy-mm-dd on all of my project/song folders as well to keep alphabetized by date.

Are you using the Song Picker Ctrl-F3 within BIAB?
Life is complicated enough, let the computer keep track.
Check the metadata that Song Picker keeps for you ( Title, Location, Filename, Style, Key, tempo, etc. )
Filtering and Searching included
Even gives you a preview of the Chord sheet.

The computer keeps track of dates automatically, but sometimes they're not the dates I want to keep, for example, if I multitrack record a gig for later mix-down, the date I'm interested in is that of the gig, not of when I did the mixing. The same would be the case for photos of the gig.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I have BIAB files from 2012 when I started that could be put in a separate folder or several folders making the songs are am working on much more easier to find.
