Hey… it sorts properly alphabetically

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Only within the same century, which is an issue for those of us born last millennium (or managing systems from that time), and could be a real problem in 50-ish years when we could get the first duplicates.

Better to stick with YYYY-MM-DD for alphabetical sorting

*ASCIIbetically. The alphabet doesn’t know digits.
