Why would the year, the least important, need to be first?

And why are the pieces of the pyramid made so the ISO standard is the only one that looks right? ss:mm:hh:DD:MM:YYYY would also order the numbers based on length, but would look terrible if represented like that

I often see the year being the most important in my archive. Followed by month, then day (which is often left out because the document is monthly).

And the why; because it sorts alphabetically.

You can skip the year and just do 1-26

That's the one that was active when I started typing. However, I change it randomly using the decay of a radioactive isotope that is randomly chosen by the decay of a separate amount of Uranium-238. I'm two randoms in. This way, my time records are always encrypted using open-science source and the government can't hack the pictures of my parking spots at the oncology center to sell them to the NIMBYs at MetAlphabet AI.

How is day smaller than month? There are up to 12 values for month, but up to 31 for days
