YYYY-MM-DD should be the main everywhere.
It is in Lithuania
YYYY-MM-DD is the only acceptable date format, as commanded by ISO 8601.
“There shall be no other date formats before ISO8601. Remember this format and keep it as the system default”
Sorting by date would be so much better with yyyymmdd .
Largest to smallest unit of time. It just makes sense.
Glad I can count my own country, Lithuania, among the enlightened.

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.
You mean as a prefix, right?
Their assumption is that the filename is the same otherwise e.g. myNotes20231122.txt
ISO 8601 baby
Though it ought to be a prefix, not a suffix

Military be like 23/NOV/2023
When you’re naming a file, you can’t use anything else.
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.
I’m not kidding when I ask: are there really a lot of people using MM/DD/YYYY??
Almost 350 million of us morons down south of you.
Using a different date format that means the exact same thing anyway does not make you a moron.
I propose the use of MYDYDM format. So, October 15, 2023 will be written as 121350. Just to make it as confusing as possible.
Amazing
ISO 8601 format is the best (YYYY-MM-DD).
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.
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.
These formats are overrated.
MM/YYYY/DDis clearly better.
