No, the radical change would be that the user would suddenly, without any warning, see his directory full of subdirectories with different formats (old and new), aka a big mess.
But it's a big mess now. The user would see the new log files lining up at the top in an orderly fashion... With a big mess underneath them...

You said it would be simple to change it, just change the default registry option. Hence I replied that this can not be done just-like-that and should be done with a decent designed GUI accompanying it and even with a wizard-like autoconverter to 'attempt' change the old directories to the new one.
If no GUI/Wizard is going to be included, the registry change would only be needed. But yes, a nice GUI/Wizard would be lovely! Nice of you to offer! I look forward to seeing it

I bet a lot less than have entered into this plea for change.

Again, it is NOT as easy as simply changing the default registry setting like you might think. That is not how a user-friendly program should behave, at all. Especially not a program which is mostly used by people who are not computer-savy users.
The entries have to be written to the registry during installation... You can then set the values to whatever you want.
The only change people will see here is a positive one, if they are savy or not they would appreciate this improvement.
People are used to seeing stuff in chronological order, 99.99% of people email inboxes are sorted in perfect chronological order... This is THE norm. Everyone is totally accustomed to this...
Sorting stuff alphabetically by the first letter of the name of the month is just plain weird.
