This.

I can handle DDMMYY[YY] it reads correctly. But YYYYMMDD is numerically correct, most signifcant to least significant digitwise.

That thing only American's do, is completely non-sensical.

8601 for life

I expected to see this when I looked at the comments, and you didn't disappoint me!

So glad this is the default in Japan. 🇯🇵 😌

/c/iso8601 assemble !

It's the only one that makes any logical sense!

Absolutely! Everything else needs special algos for organization to put it in the proper order. This format just works numerically out of the box.

ISO-8601. God's own date-time format

This person sorts

Thaaaank you

Hungarians feeling superior with their YYYY.MM.DD fornat.

Although that's not ideal for URLs

Use hyphens instead of slashes and we're on the same page.

Even better, easier sorting.

It's because people keep taking screenshots of the image and sharing the screenshot instead of the original image file. It's like making a copy of a copy of a copy until it looks like garbage.

because they get downloaded from say reddit and then reuploaded again a year later or so which since most sites/services compress files uploaded they get worse and worse quality

As usual, there's an xkcd for that. Along with a more detailed explanation.

The first one you listed is an ISO standard date format, and is the only way to go :)

I say we force them to be alphabetical.

Look at this moron. DY-MY-DM is the only logical date format.
