minus-squarebridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·25 days agoThe worst date format. Even worse than Americans mm dd yy
minus-squarechaogomu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·25 days agoDays are shorter than months, which are shorter than years. Makes sense to go with smallest to largest.
minus-squareJcbAzPx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·25 days agoAh, but the month number set is smaller than the day number set. It makes just as much sense to order by sets. Plus, starting with the month gives you time to remember what day it is without having to sit there awkwardly.
minus-squarebridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·25 days agoI prefer large to small imo, plus computers prefer yy mm dd too
minus-squareBCsven@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·25 days agoI prefer classifaction in descending order… Narrow down the yearx then the month then the day then the hour then the seconds. Absolutely nobody wants seconds first then minutes

minus-squareddplf@szmer.infolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·25 days agoThanks, but Y/M/DD/M/YYY already does it just fine for me
minus-squarecopygirl@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·25 days agoNo love for YYYY-MM-DD? If you see a date in that format, it’s pretty unambiguous.
minus-squareSeth Taylor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·25 days agoYou’re right. I literally forgot the first two Y. Or rather I assumed they were implied.
minus-squareBionicBeaver3000@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·25 days agoAlso great for naming files in the filesystem, and thereby giving it both context and a sorting space. I started doing so in my company on the shared network space years ago, and many colleagues have started using this as well.
