Ah ok. So then plugboards don't accomplish what I'm trying to do which is edit the actual file names, it sounds like it needs to be changed in the News items' unique sync rules.

I'd really like to see an option or have the default to have the News sync rules put the appended chronological date at the beginning of the file name instead of the end:

Current:
Economist [Fri, 17 Apr 2015], The_2015-4-17.epub

More useful:
2015-04-17 Economist [Fri, 17 Apr 2015], The_.epub

The usefulness of a chronological date scheme is lost when it is not at the front of a file name. Putting it at the end is just redundant because Calibre already adds a date to all Fetched News items at the time of creation. Putting this chronological date at the beginning will allow chronological sorting (which is how most people consume magazines/news) when accessing the files on devices such as Dropbox.
