YYYY-MM-DD for files, DD-MM-YYYY for normal use

Agreed, YYYY-MM-DD should be normal use

[–] noobnarski@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So its possible to properly sort by date?

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A proper date sort would be YYYYMMDD

[–] Gabu@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because for 99.99% of all situations, you'd already know what year and month it is, so the most readily available piece of information should be the day.

If you already know the year and month why write it. ISO or month day are the two most reasonable. You need to zoom in not give yourself a list of options and then randomly pick one later.
