group images taken in folders + display on/off

I have an E-PL6

In the Record/Erase menu at File Name there is:

[Auto]: Even when a new card is inserted, the file numbers are retained from the previous card. File numbering continues from the last number used or from the highest number available on the card.
[Reset]: When you insert a new card, the folder numbers starts at 100 and the file name starts at 0001. If a card containing images is inserted, the file numbers start at the number following the highest file number on the card.

Now, I don't want my file name numbers to restart at 0001. I regularly clear images from my card so there would be no images on the card when it is inserted.

I figure RESET will not work for me and chose to use AUTO.

But, all the images are in one directory... I prefer them separated by date.

RESET mentions use of folders. AUTO doesn't mention folders and in fact there is only one folder on the card with all images in.

Is there some way to both retain image number when a new or empty card is inserted and have images in folders by date (or at least grouped by some rational) ?

For a bonus question... I can configure the Fn or REC button as a toggle turn display on/off. However, this really isn't working well for me (for a long reason). Also, I don't see a shortcut in the SCP.

I see sleep time and display off time in the Display menu but didn't notice a way to turn it off. Not that i wan to go that far into a menu...

Is there an easy way to toggle display on/off ?
