@nixCraft ISO sorts correctly with a simple alphabetic sort. Clearly the only sensible format.

@nixCraft 8601 is the only standard that sorts as standard alphanumeric text, without any date-time library necessary. All others are just stupid.

@nixCraft I really don't understand this hill that people want to die on. Its February 1st, 2023 or 02/01/2023 which makes sense. On the flip side - panel one really doesn't make much sense in most contexts

@gingerjet @nixCraft if you name files like in the first panel, and use sort on the name, they are all naturally sorted, values must go from biggest to smallest

@nixCraft One hypothesis is that we Americans (originally British colonists) brought the format over from Britain. Apparently, the U.K. used the same format until the 20th century when they decided to change it to the way the Europeans were doing it. As expected, we Americans were like “fuck that, even if we could get all of our fucking states to agree on it, it’d be too hard to teach everyone to use a new format”

@nixCraft You mean the country that still uses inches/miles instead of SI-meters, fahrenheit instead of SI-Kelvin/Celsius etc.? Why do you wonder about dates, they are just a tiny fraction of it...Can you tell me (by heart), how many inches give a mile?Or how many cubic inches give a gallon?

@herdsoft 63,360 - but I had to calculate it. If you'd asked "how many yards in one mile" then it would have been an instant answer!

@gingerjet @nixCraft Not everyone is speaking English. Still many pieces of technology assume you do. Like weeks start on Monday by ISO standard, but date pickers frequently, start them on Sundays.So when you show me 2/1/2023, I think 2023-01-02. And I stop myself because that is apparently an English speaker who possibly loses Mars probes.
