    Good taste, YYYY-MM-DD is obviously superior

    ISO-8601 / RFC-3339 is clearly superior, but at least DD/MM/YYYY has a rational ordering, unlike MM/DD/YYYY.

      Dont know if it’s true or not, but I always assumed it was because the numbers get bigger left to right. Only 12 months, 30ish days, thousands of years.

        My guess is it’s because that’s the order in which we usually say dates in English: September twentieth, twenty-twenty-four.

    Why do some people insist on doing big-endian dates? Little-endian (YYYY-MM-DD) is trivially alphanumerically sortable. Also, it’s part of the goddamn ISO standard for standardized date format.

    The perfect date is YYYY/MM/DD. US and every where else conflict with DD/MM/YYYY & MM/DD/YYYY.
