Since in the z80 calculators there aren't folders unless you use some shell like DoorsCS, I prefix the name of my TI-BASIC programs for easier access.
Here are my prefixes:
A - easy access to execute because they appear first in the programs listing
G - game under development
R - reusable subroutine in a program (generally to Rcl them in a program)
N - notes or nifty programs
U - utilities
T - tools (meh, ends to be the same as utilities)
Z - list in the end of the program list but before Theta. For data programs or subroutines of large programs (games mostly)
Theta - list in the end of the program list
About general organization of programs I always keep a A, A1, A2, A3 programs for experimenting TI-BASIC code and optimization of parts of code.
About groups, I keep backup copies prefixed with CS and suffixed with a number (suggestion from here in the forums).
Now it is your turn.

Err, I don't prefix my programs. I give them a meaningful name and go by that. Occasionally I will prefix Axe source code with AXE_____, but I haven't done that as much ever since Axe only shows Axe source code programs in the program list.
-
I only prefix them for easy access. For programs I'm currently working with, they either start with A or theta followed by their name for quick access when I want to edit them.

I also do this all the time when I'm experimenting or working with things. :D
-
I normally don't prefix mine either, but that's probably because I don't have that many programs. When I am programming, though, I do have a tendency to start the names of the programs I am working on with 'A'.
-
I generally keep all my prog names as short as I can to save space. I'll usually prefix them with my game acronyms, or something close. Example, Illusiat 13 prefix is I13
In some cases, I tend to call the main launcher prgmA, though
-
I use A for quick little temporary programs. :)
Other than that I've only ever used on one other letter: Q I wanted all of my Elmgon files to show up together and Q was a letter that I'd never had any programs with. :D
-
Some people also use Theta. I used it in Mana Force series.
I discourage the usage of Theta in variable and program names now, though, because in some cases it's a major PITA to transfer from computer to emulators or from computer to calcs
-
H- indicates on calc hex
Z- indicates compiled assembly program
AX/AXE- indicates axe program
A- used for basic testing of coding
thats it. For subroutines, I give them a name that hints at what they do.
-
I never used theta cause I have some 300 programs and it takes forever to got to the bottom. (Even with pressing up at the top.) ;)
Anyway, I Used to use A in front of everything, but then I ended up with about 150 programs starting with A.
I backed up my calc a month ago and it took about 30 mins.
-
Oh for map data in BASIC+libs I generally just use I13 followed with a number because it's easier to recall. I just need to use a set of strings and sub() commands. See Illusiat 13 or Metroid II for example.
@Yunhua98 wow 30 mins o.o how much calc mem did you have left?
-
A: any program I'm working on, generally i only have one project at once and other projects are grouped and ungrouped whenever I feel like working on them
Everything else doesn't have a prefix since basically the only time I'm using the PRGM menu is when testing/editing programs. Games are all hidden and accessed from MOS, and fontsets and 16lvl pictures are accessed from Zstart's menu. Those are pretty much the only programs that I have in mem at once:P (math progs are ungrouped whenever i need them (like SATs) and everything else gets grouped then deleted
-
I didn't really do much prefixing in my Z80 days. One exception later on with the 85/86 was that I started naming subprograms beginning with Greek characters to keep them out of the way, at the end of the list. Other than that, I just gave them names related to what they were.
-
Since pokemon is such a large project, I make sure everything else starts with a 'Z' to make sure pokemon is highest up on the list, for easier starting.
-
I prefix axe source with "X", as in "XMULTIBL". I also prefix programs used for code testing with a _theta_.
