Why don't you? (YYYY-MM-DD)

[illicit]

As an American, I'm used to writing MM/DD/YYYY or MM/DD/YY or Month Day, Year. However, I understand that it's confusing for those not in the US. I still do that, though.

Tbh, in life, you know the year so it should go last... the most important is the day, and then the month...

It doesn't matter what year it is for say, birthdays etc...

Right, but when it comes to timestamps and such, YYYYMMDD makes chronological sorting possible, hence the ISO standard.
