Actually not accurate for "Rest of the World", China uses year month day.

Which is the best date format for sorting stuff alphabetically.

I also do because it is ISO standard. I also do 24 hours for time. I wish scheduling application would do that. I don't know how many times I have scheduled a meeting for 8PM the following day instead of 8AM.

@SeaJ I agree on time, 24 hours makes it a lot easier to communicate times with people in other time zones and easier to calculate from GMT.

What china, isn't year-month-day some iso norm?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah, ISO 8601 or better yet: RFC 3339.

(You're actually allowed to read the latter.)

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, just saw that someone mentioned it already.

All of East Asia use the same format.
