Waypoint Saved Names when exporting?

I've got a fairly specific issue with my Mavic 3 waypoint missions.
Yesterday, I flew a bunch of waypoint missions, and saved each mission to my controller with a unique name. (A1, A2, A3, etc.) I was flying surveys of a barren empty desert where it's not easy to tell which clip is of which location, and so having the GPS coordinates from the waypoints is very important. Most of the missions were straight lines.

My plan was to export these missions onto my computer, then use litchi utilities (by @DJ Wes ) "DJI Fly Waypoint Mission to Litchi Waypoint Mission Converter" to export these missions and create records that are correlated with the video clips I created.

However, upon opening the files on my computer, all of the names are random strings of digits in the form of a GUID. I cannot see the name that I saved the file as on my controller.

Trying to manually correlate these would be incredibly painstaking, verging on impossible. I need to be able to reference the unique ID I created for the various waypoint missions. Is there a way to do this?
 
There's only 1 way:
Use the Date/Time stamp of the KMZ files on the controller.

-On your controller open the waypoint missions one by one starting with the last one of the series.
-"Exit waypoint flight planning?" and tap "Save and Exit".
-Wait 1 minute before opening and saving the next mission.

Your missions are now ordered by date & time with mission A1 as the most recent.
