Also a great suggestion!
I tried doing that for a while - I have many backup copies of my world. They are in groups where I saved several times using the same name. I fond it to be a little bit of a problem when I would save under a similar name. If the new name was nearly identical (like just changing the Bata number and Date - using the beta version number and date as mart of the world name) each time I exported to test the world it would actually not install correctly. Sometimes it would tell me the world was already installed. I would need to uninstall any previous version of that world - even if it had a different name and install the new version.
I got lazy and reverted back to my original naming convention (world abbreviation + version number + current date + current time) it changed every time but was still to close to the previous name that I needed to uninstall the previous version before installing the latest version to test.
I found that a radical change in the world name would work - this makes it hard to follow your progression though, but worked.
Unfortunately =- I think I may have corrupted ALL variations of my world searching for a cure to this problem (refer to post above to FluffyCannibal).
