Gotta love well sorted items.
I always have written my dates this way. It's one of those things that always seemed weird to me and then when I realize that only in America do we write our dates MM-DD-YYYY /facepalm
Facts. The sorting system for files inevitably makes YYYY-MM-DD more optimal. I tried to resist but it doesn't work.
I apply it violently. It's like my boxing bag.
For speaking or writing it out going month then day feels natural, although I know it’s a regional thing. If you’re going number format, it should always go smallest to largest (DD-MM-YYYY) or largest to smallest (YYYY-MM-DD). For file names, definitely the latter so you can sort by alphabetical and everything is in order.
