The year has never been the problem.

Now, if there are plans to rename the months Thirtyseconduary, Fortyfirstember and so on, we might be getting somewhere.

    YY/MM/DD works the best because it puts the least significant number at the end. This is how we iterate all other numbers (small number at the end).

    To sort a folder on a computer I agree, but to socialise, both me and my friends plan happenings down to the days they are happening, not months or years, so there the opposite is true.

    Isn't the year always at the end anyway?

    YYYY-MM-DD is the best format, please don't change my mind :)

    I always do it at the start. So I can sort by name. And it will be sorted by date

    I am fully aware that at least two of the planet's almost 200 countries write dates that way, but for most people, this is a solution to a nonexistent problem.
