ISO-8601 over all other formats. 2023-08-09T21:11:00Z

Simple, sortable, intuitive.

Awful to actually read, though. Using T as a delimiter is mental... At least the hyphen provides some white space

I really wonder how americans were able to fuck this one up. There are three ways to arrange these and two of them are acceptable!

Edit: Yes, I meant common ways, not combinatorically possible ways.

Hmmm more like 6 ways but I get your point

Three ways that people actually use. YYYY-MM-DD, DD-MM-YYYY, and MM-DD-YYYY (ew).

AFAIK no-one does YYYY-DD-MM, DD-YYYY-MM, or MM-YYYY-DD... yet. Don't let the Americans know about these formats, they might just start using them out of spite.
