OK, so, by file date, you mean date modified or date created? tweak the following to suit (I used modified)

[date modified] seemed a little tricky to work with, though I did just skim quickly through some things and stopped when I landed a working option. There are deffo other ways of achieving this, I used the following viewscheme:

"modified year" is a database expression: formatdate([date modified],yyyy)

"modified month" is also an expression: formatdate([date modified],MMMM)&DataType=[Month]

resulting in:

Is that any better now?

I chose date created as I was looking for a way of keeping track the more recent files from the older ones. Thanks for putting me onto this, I've never dabbled in view schemes until now.
I also added a 'CREATED DAY' to the scheme, ie,  formatdate([date created],day)
