   For the record, year-month-date order is about the only one that makes sense, as the earlier segments constrain the scope of the later segments.
   
   I guess one could do it date-month-year, but that’s a lot of extra work ... date, now wait for the month before it has meaning, now wait for the year before the month has meaning.
   
   I think YYYY-MM-DD is superior.

     @ragamuffinjim Thanks, by the way. There's a very important family birthday today and I would not have remembered it.

     @lnxw48a1 it's more than a feeling…it's ISO 8601

     @ragamuffinjim we use in speech and writing dd/mm/(yyyy) because it's more clear for us but to order or to record something I think the format should be ISO8601 which is YYYY/MM/DD @lnxw48a1

     @ragamuffinjim None of these projects present streams as a set of threaded conversations, so they fail to represent things the way we experience them in real life.

     @mangeurdenuage We can eliminate a lot of confusion by sticking to YYYY-MM-DD and not using MM-DD-YYYY or DD-MM-YYYY, so why not do so?
