When you’re naming a file, you can’t use anything else.
YYYY-MM-DD (honestly without dashes) is the only helpful format.
If you name all your files with this as a suffix then your files automatically sort versions of themselves in order when sorting by name.
DD/MM/YY and YY/MM/DD are the only acceptable ones IMO. Throwing a DD in between YY and MM is just weird since days move by faster so they should be at one of the ends and since YY moves the slowest it should be on the other end.
I’m not kidding when I ask: are there really a lot of people using MM/DD/YYYY??
Almost 350 million of us morons down south of you.
Using a different date format that means the exact same thing anyway does not make you a moron.
YYYY-MM-DD is the only acceptable date format, as commanded by ISO 8601.
“There shall be no other date formats before ISO8601. Remember this format and keep it as the system default”
Sorting by date would be so much better with yyyymmdd .
Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened.

where’s that? somewhere in africa?
/s because apparently it’s not implied
YYYY-MM-DD:HH:MM:SS
YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSSSSSSSSZ
Largest to smallest unit of time. It just makes sense.
YYYY-MM-DD should be the main everywhere.
These formats are overrated.
MM/YYYY/DD
is clearly better.Military be like 23/NOV/2023
