mmddyyyy is the disgusting one as it isn’t ordered logically

Anyone who has managed a directory full of files would use yyyymmdd

YYYY/MM/DD and DD/MM/YYYY are both normal since they go either ascending or descending order. MM/DD/YYYY is the illogical one.

Yyyy/mm/DD is perfectly fine, especially for sorting files. Good luck finding something from 4 years ago when you have tens of thousands of folders to go though and they sort by fucking day of the month

For the people freaking out over the, “illogical use,” of the mmddyyyy format, it’s because that is how dates are listed in vernacular where said format is used.
I.e., “When did that happen?” “Oh! January 2nd, 1982!”
So that’s how dates are transcribed.
It’s not that deep y’all.

yyyymmdd is the ISO standard, which makes it superior

Dd/Mm/yy is the right format. Anyone saying otherwise is probably American.

I’m genuinely confused, there’s actual discourse on the order of dates? Like, I’ve seen these fights outside of here.

dd/mm/yyyy for humans
yyyy/mm/dd for computers

at least you guys only have to remember the Gregorian year format.
me living in a country that uses 年月日 and also have to remember that 2025 is also 令和7年 because they use both

No, the only disguinting one is MM/DD/YYYY
The rest are okay

No
In fact YYYY/MM/DD is a lifesaver thanks to gringos insisting in the shitty MM/DD/YYYY

For some languages YYYY/MM/DD makes more sense than DD/MM/YYYY, they’re both normal and perfectly fine. MM/DD/YYYY makes no sense though.

D/m/y for general use.
Y/m/d for official.
M/d/y for 9/11.

I use ddmmyyyy, can understand yyyymmdd…But I always find mmddyyyy weird
ProShyGuy on
YYYYMMDD is objectively the best method. When sorting files labelled this way alphabetically, it also sorts by date.
Mukyun on
Nah, YYYY/MM/DD is also fine (or even better, depending on the situation).
The only weirdo here is MM/DD/YYYY

The only disgusting one here is mm/dd/yyyy it makes no sense at all

Month should always be in the middle,

For human readability DDMMYYYY is best.
For file sorting, YYYYMMDD is best.
Americans are just psychos

Dd/mm/yyyy is what i use normaly and its normal in my country. Yyyy/mm/dd is often used for documents for sorting purposes. Both make sense. From shortest time (day) going up to the longest (year) or other way round make both sense. But middle short long? Who thought of that had some problems lol
skyziaos on
What about yyyyddmm ?
JCrockford on
Month should always be in the middle, with Computers you’d have the year first as whensorting them, you ou put the broadest factor first and get more specific as it goes. In real life, day would be first, though, since that’s the factor that changes most often
