YYYY-MM-DD should be the main everywhere.

These formats are overrated. MM/YYYY/DD is clearly better.

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

LemmyKnowsBest ,

You’re not wrong. through much trial and error in the 1990s I learned this was the most efficient & accurate & chronologically searchable way to date things.

Hoomod ,

Why would you save dates as a date format when you can save them as an int or string and make calculations more complicated

Colour_me_triggered ,

The nasty little Swedes also do that. Typisk svensk.

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

neutron , (edited )

Its the same for all East Asian countries as well, but I guess slapping JAPAN on it means fast upvotes, like that “Place, Japan” meme.

15liam20 ,

I can’t speak for everyone but I see something Japanese then I upvote it, doesn’t matter what it is.

Sushi, Bullet train, Bonsai, Anime, Bukkake, Haiku

I’m an ISO 8601 guy but the MM/DD does make sense in American. We’ll say Oct 20th for a date and then straight translate that to numbers 10/20. It makes more sense than counting in French. Ex. 60, 70, 80, 90

Littleborat ,

Counting in French is an incredibly low benchmark. Nice try!

15liam20 ,

It makes more sense than Monty Python.

First ,

Prepare your butthole for the Danish spoken number system, where they express integers in fractions

Littleborat ,

They should just introduce a new system. Noone likes five halves of twenty for fifty. I guarantee it.

Just indroduce English numbers, the end.

The only reason I could see is if you were speaking it. September 18th 2012 for example might sound a bit better than 18 September 2012.

Isn’t Japanese read from right to left?

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

No that’s Arabic

ahriboy ,

Japanese and Chinese were read right-to-left until 20th century.

Patawagon ,

Japan reads back to front

pingveno ,

To nitpick, it reads from front to back. It just has a different concept of front and back from the West.

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

jzb ,

Came here to say this. I try to name all my docs in the YYYY-MM-DD-descriptive-name.ext format.

@Buttons@programming.dev avatar

I can see some advantages of that.

I’m American though, so YYYY-DD-MM is the best I can do.

mmagod ,

for me, the section that changes the most goes last…

in a whole year, the YYYY never changes, the MM changes only 12 times… i never implementing the day… there’s only so many possibilities i could have had for saved files in June. i just go straight to description

sukhmel ,

I hope that the comment you answer to was ironical. >!Otherwise there’s no hope for us 😰!<

mmagod ,

haha yeah. i just assumed they were kidding, but if not… yikes!

AMillionNames ,

Best nomenclature for sorting.

DAMunzy ,

Used to be my account name on a different website social media aggregator.

dillydogg ,

I like that for files, but not for written documents. When I label things I try to use the most intuitive/least confusing way I can think of: DD mmm YYYY. This comment is posted on 23 NOV 2023, for example.

CorrodedCranium ,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

I do prefer the abbreviated month with the yyyy mmm dd format. It makes things relatively easy to sort but you also don’t have to worry about confusing others if you are referring to the 10th month or day for example.

Teritz ,

For Excel 100%

drdabbles ,
@drdabbles@lemmy.world avatar

The only correct format. Least to most specific.

darkbaron202 ,

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

Thranduil ,

Yeah for a lot of files you probably would sort by year in the end

Goldmaster ,

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

CheeseToastie ,

It also means that by default it’ll sort by newest

qwerty_bastard ,

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

Fixt.
