YYYY-MM-DD is the only acceptable date format, as commanded by ISO 8601.

DD/MM/YY and YY/MM/DD are the only acceptable ones IMO. Throwing a DD in between YY and MM is just weird since days move by faster so they should be at one of the ends and since YY moves the slowest it should be on the other end.

ISO 8601 format is the best (YYYY-MM-DD).

YYYY-MM-DD (honestly without dashes) is the only helpful format.

If you name all your files with this as a suffix then your files automatically sort versions of themselves in order when sorting by name.

MMDDYY is just a mess. Otherwise… US problems, I don’t care…

It actually makes sense when you put YYYY/MM/DD in filenames as they will be sorted pretty neat (ex: reports)

This meme implies there's an equal battle between MM/DD/YY and DD/MM/YY, which is nonsense. Much like imperial units, only 'murica uses MM/DD/YY.

It is arguably the best way to name large sets of indexed files on a filesystem.

YYYY-MM-DD in Hungary too, that us shit is totally non logical, i cant get used to it

When you're naming a file, you can't use anything else.

YYYY-MM-DD for everything digital, DD-MM-YYYY for everything IRL.

Iso date format. Anything to do with photos is best to have in this format at the start of the filename.

I propose the use of MYDYDM format. So, October 15, 2023 will be written as 121350. Just to make it as confusing as possible.

YYYY-MM-DD for files, DD-MM-YYYY for normal use

TBH, Japanese format makes sense when you use it to name files/directories, as sorting by "name" is equivalenti to sorting by "last modified".

Japan I can get behind but MM/dd/yyyy is just evil, why would you sandwich days between months and years? You monster

Japan wins this one.

DD/MM for readability, YYYY/MM/DD for alphabetical sorting that's also chronological.

What about YY/DD/MM?
