Cue the ISO format chads...
Because it's clearly the best for numerous reasons.
- when the 4 digit year is first, it's obvious month is second. So 2024-01-02, for example, is definitely jan second and not Feb first (unless you're insane)

The only thing date snobs hate more than other date snobs is date snobs who are right…
31-12-23.
2023-12-31
It's nicer and sorting it is easier.
12-31-23
The 23rd day of the 31st month of 2012?
WTF?
For the sane world the last day of 2023 was 23-12-31, or formated properly: 2023/12/31
For less than 5% of people. The vast majority use a proper format.

I really like year/month/day format as its sorts my files accordingly. Too bad not many countries, including my own, use this format.
yyyy-MM-dd
Also my favorite date format, at least when it comes to name computer files.

Chill out guys :-), it's a nice details. I found it funny (and I'm using european)
311223
