But the word has multiple meanings and both interpretations are equally plausible. Personally I also thought the title was about secrets. Changing from classified to labeled will remove ambiguity completely.

It's the ordering here:

"... classified screenshots ..." would be usually be understood in en-gb to be "screenshots given a security rating requiring restricted access".

"... screenshots classified ..." would be "screenshots given a classification of some sort".

I disagree - the former would be used in both cases in my opinion. I think it just depends which usage you use more.

It is used in both situations when context makes it clear, there's no [or very little, at least] context in a title. Ordering disambiguates the intended meaning when context is insufficient.

Disagree; "classified" is normally used before the noun, not after, when referring to government classification. E.g. it's "classified material" not "material that's classified".

Erm, that's what I did. You said disagree and then repeated my first point.
