@divegeester saidHear, hear, and while you’re at it, get them to adopt the metric system. Feet, yards, and miles probably made some sort of sense, when the Romans invaded Britain, but now they are just plain stupid.

DD/MM/YYYY
@kewpie saidOf course, from a data processing standpoint, big-endian or little-endian is the way to go, everything else sucks, says the nerd 😀
D M Y is a logical sequence from smallest to largest.
Y M D is a logical sequence from largest to smallest, and also the one that works best in ordering lists.
Either is acceptable.
M D, Y is as antiquated as the imperial system and deserves to be consigned to the dustbin of history along with stupid paper sizes.
