or, op can use date form as;

   find $1 -depth | sort | cpio -o -Bcv > \
    /home/users/hold/0000.0001.cpio2file/$2.cpio 2> \
    /home/users/hold/0000.0001.cpio2file/$2.err-list.`date +%Y.%m%d.%H%M.%S`

to sort by month's in numerical and not all mixed up, which is why i
prefer using number for month.
