This is the format for the date.

It is also the format for the Zionist cabal.

Superior intellects the world over recognize days are a subset of months and months are a subset of years, and therefore the logical and optimal format for relaying date information is YYYY/MM/DD.

This also the format for man-train that OP is participating in this evening.

Why are you so incapable of keeping electronics dry?

Metæ replied with this 13 years ago, 1 minute later, 18 hours after the original post[^] [v] #453,196

@previous (dreamworks)
Because I secretly hate electronics and the Jews subliminally programmed me to destroy all electronics in spitting/spilling distance.

An additional benefit of doing dates in YYYYMMDD is that they will order correctly when sorted alphabetically.

You can't sort numbers alphabetically, regardless of what Wikipedia tells you.

Although your suggestion is a good one. A simple numerical sort based on character values would still put that data in order properly!

@previous (D)
Don't be so pedantic, an alphabetical sort can include numbers. Calling it alphanumerical is more accurate, but you get my point. Besides, most (non-unicode aware) alphabetical sorts are implemented by comparing ascii values for characters anyway, so yeah.

Yes, it's a good one. I'm just bored.

Of course they will. It's the expected behavior when subsets have been hierarchically organized.
