It also say YYYY-mm-dd should be date and HH:MM:SS should be time and YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS should be datetime. But it also allow extremely cursed datetime, many prefer rfc3339
I routinely do this in emails and documents. No one has ever questioned me on it because they’re used to it from folder/file names.
Please do join me in slowly changing the world over to year, month, day order.
(Though I prefer the non-standard dots instead of hyphens, as they are non-line-breaking, and allows for hyphens to be used as separators for other parts in a file along with underscores)
The standard specify a ton features and formats. Thing like day if week so 2015-W4-1 would be the first day of the fourth week of 2015.
But the you have can have periods like “P1Y2M10DT2H30M”, and you can specify start and end dates. So if you want to start an event that runs for 3 months, 20 days, and some time you could write it as “20220212T1133/P3M20DT7H15M”.
And then there’s more like giving the year as an exponent, so 2015 can be written as Y-2.015E3S4.

I use that date format for saving work docs anyway. And use dd/mm/yyyy for anything else.
Although thinking about it, maybe I should just adopt the international standard for everything

It would be perfect if it wasn’t for that fuck-ugly ‘T’ separator between date and time.
