I don't care how anyone else in the world does it, I always use year/month/day. Sorts better on the computer.
So backwards then.
The year is generally superfluous as unless you are living in a hole you know the year.
I already know the month too, so I am really interested in the day which is pulling up the rear like the system was designed by a dyslexic.
I know, you don't care.
KEK.
LOL I hear you, but it's all about context. If you're dealing with stuff on a daily basis then its always current. I typically don't - most of my stuff is longer term so the year actually is relevant.
Unless you have files that go back years, in the same folder.
It's not about YOU knowing what year it is, and what month it is. It's about easily being able to sort through files.
I can see your point but I don't agree that this is a common enough use scenario that we should have all our dates backwards.
It's hardly the biggest issue we face today though and I will struggle through. ;)
Yep, ISO8601 is the way to go: year-month-day
You can also append time (and timezone) to it if need be
Based. I do the same.
