Don't prefix directories to get them to sort in a certain order

You don't want your folder structure to look like "10_Meetings, 20_Notes, 30_Production"

The alphabet isn't going to change order. You know where "P" falls in the alphabet without looking at your list of directories. In fact, you don't even need to know the order, you can just type "P" and hit enter and you're there. Except some enterprising individual has decided your project folders' structure should be dictated by aesthetics and subject to the changing whims of management. So instead of navigating around as quickly as you can decide where you want to go, you get to digest an entire menu of options and their corresponding, completely arbitrary prefix values.
