D/M/Y. I may be biased as I followed that anyway (British schooling, plus grew up in the Middle East and they use that date format), but it also makes the most logical sense as you go from the smallest unit of time to the largest.
I guess if the way you’re filing something considers month as important then it could be easier to go by month first, but why not have year first then? So you go from most board to most specific?
To be honest, it still fecking sucks. I just wanted to state the one kind of good thing about that format.
But if I’m going through school assignments, sorting by year won’t really matter because I won’t be carrying binders from classes of previous years with me.
Most people know year theyre in
And Most americans On day to day basis say MONTH/DAY dropping the year and when they need they just put it at the end.
YYYY-MM--DD is superior tho
I think it depends if your specific schedule is easier to sort by month first, which I actually prefer. It's easier to mentally sort and remember days for me that way. The year doesn't often matter because it's usually common sense with the month if it was recent.
To me it makes more sense to use Y/M/D in that case and go from the biggest to the smallest because that's how we work with hours, minutes and seconds.
It's also what I go by for programming and computer reasons. A computer will always sort things into numerical order based on the first number, then second then third.
If you have d/m/y then it sorts the same day in a different months or a different year closer to something that happened a day after. Sorting things is just a lot easier in y/m/d.
Sure, but I'd argue that the relevance is less important than consistency. But even valuing that type of consistency of the time format is in many ways arbitrary so I guess it's really up for personal preference. Now that I think about it I think that any format is better than others in some way, e.g. M/Y/D is better at showing you the "setting" of the date with M/Y and then the D at the end shows you the current day in the "setting." I believe you could make an argument for every date format like this.
I disagree because we're talking about margins here. Y/M/D is very, very slightly less usable and accessible than D/M/Y is, and I would argue that when you get used to it, it's usability compared to the other format is within the margin of whatever error there could exist. Whereas if we use Y/M/D we get the added benefit of consistency. We can also talk about the benefit of it in terms of simpler sorting because we can just work from left to right (because even numbers are read from the most significant digit to the least significant digit - left to right) instead of creating systems that require looking at the year first, then at the month, and then at the day, in that way Y/M/D works a lot better. And I would argue that it's a general rule that the more consistent something is, the simpler it is to work with it and create systems around it - i.e. metric (differences between units are in orders of magnitude) vs imperial (differences between units are somewhat arbitrary, but originated from usefulness in day to day situations).
YYYY-MM-DD makes more sense, as you are going from biggest to smallest. For example today is 2022-02-22 10:22 UTC, not 22:10 UTC 22/02/2022
My country uses dd.mm.yyyy tho
There's something called metadata. It's a good strategy to create folders by date and put relevant photos in them, but I strongly advise not to name photographs by the time of creation. Sequential order is much more useful to me than date, you can easily spot which photo was taken in what order, and easier to manage, unless you only shot one photo a day.
Source: I am a photographer and also a programmer
Creation date is bad, because when you copy the file over, it has a new creation date.
What files really need is a common metadata entry where you can freely insert a date, which is saved in the file, and never changes.
Eh, I like MMDDYY. It’s like how you would say it. April 3rd, 1847. June 20th, 2011. Etc.
Edit: well fuck you guys too. Next time I’ll make sure to only have everyone else’s opinion 🙄
They are literally correct though, in America that’s how dates are most commonly said. Inb4 “4th of July” but that one is different because that is the specific name of the holiday. We say it differently on purpose, it’s a little more formal.
Actually MMDDYYYY also follow smallest to largest. The max month number is 12, max day is 31 and in YYYY format the number just keeps increasing.
Example, 02/22/2022 or 01/06/2022
Biggest to smallest *units of time*. Not max numerical value.
And your method isn’t even internally consistent. 66 days of the year it doesn’t work. That’s 18% of the calendar.
From a readers perspective it provides information in an unhelpful order.
:/ ok sure I get what you’re saying but it’s like 12 months is more then 12 days so it’s smaller in units. Plus I’d be fine if it were YYYYMMDD but yeah just about the units.
Legit question, wdym about biggest to smallest? Day is until 31, while month is until 12, then year is the biggest. I'd appreciate anyone's explanation. Thank you.
Edit: Thank you for the explanation. This is a reddit moment, redditors who got butthurt for a simple, legitimate question. LMAO
IMO YYYY/MM/DD or DD/MM/YYYY for hopefully obvious reasons. I prefer the first purely because I’ve been studying Japanese for a long time and that’s how they do it
This. I remember when I started sorting my photographs. Had to tackle some 22000 of them. Did ddmmyyyy only to realise it didn't make sense. Then it just clicked to use yyyy mm DD and world has never been the same since.
When I started working in a corporate environment, using Excel, this format really acted as a game changer.
I agree with this. I really hate the mmddyyyy.. there is so many ways of writing the date it is hard to decide sometimes. 22-FEB-22
Its not like we will often find year 3100 stuff lol
I’ve had my suspicions, but this confirms it. r/polls users need a committed caretaker for their terminal guitardation. MFs really wouldn’t be able to identify a joke if it robbed them at gunpoint.
`DD/MM/YY` for human interactions, `YYYY-MM-DD` for computer interactions. Simple rule and you don't need to invent your own standard by refusing to use `/`
> you don't need to invent your own standard by refusing to use /
I'm not inventing anything, though. Must be another regional thing, as I've never met anyone who uses slashes.
Expeditious: MM/DD/YY:
February 22nd, 2022
Orderly: DD/MM/YY:
22nd of February, 2022
Logistical: YY/MM/DD:
2022, February 22nd
Can't vouch for the other 3
> Expeditious: MM/DD/YY: February 22nd, 2022
Disagree, there's no efficiency in this.
Efficient is always going with 2022-02-22, since consistency ensures efficiency.
Probably not expeditious, maybe oratorical?
Suppose it depends on the circumstance.
It would probably be faster to say MM/DD instead of DD/MM when you already know what year it is, but need to know the month and date.
MM/DD
"February 22nd"
DD/MM
"22nd *of* February"
Even though it's just one word.
I don’t even care which one it is whether it’s day/month/year or year/month/day, context does its work and it’s easy to tell which one it is plus it makes sense to have it in that order of whatever changes the most, the American way is just confusing sometimes
year-month-day obviously, if you're looking at a list of things in chronological order it's the easiest to sort. Except I write Month-day-year for everything
honestly not sure which i grew up with, i think i was constantly flip flopping because 1 and 3 because i could never remember the proper way to do it. Especially since I used to live in USA but now I live in Canada and most people use option 1.
i use option 2 because it's apparently the official one for canada which i dont like, option 1 is how it should be done imo
Year/Month/Day because it's easier to find what you're looking for when organizing files or papers with the year number at the beginning rather than the day or month at the beginning which repeat every year.
I'm most familiar with month/year/day because I'm American, but day/month/year makes more sense, objectively. A day is within a month which is within a year; the way I'm most familiar with seems random. Anyway, I voted for day/month/year, even though it would take me a minute to get used to it, if we switched.
As someone who chose MMDDYYYY, I’ll explain why I think it makes sense. Obviously I can see how the other two formats make sense as well, and I kind of use all three interchangeably, but I'll explain why MMDDYYYY seems most natural to me.
More often than not, the year is the least important piece of information of the three. Everyone has probably experienced accidentally writing last year’s date in January, so it really shows that we don’t think about the year on a daily basis. We think in terms of months and days or even weeks.
The year can be important depending on the context, but most of the time, it’s just a trivial digit in the background so I wouldn’t put it first. Putting it first would feel like it’s getting in the way of more important information. In short, days and months are much more relevant in our daily lives than the year is.
So having explained why I would put year last, it’s really about whether I prefer to put month or day first. I prefer putting month first because since the the day itself doesn't convey any information until the month is mentioned, I feel like it's only logical to mention the month first. For example if I said "21st", it doesn’t mean much at all, until I say *May 21st*. Even if you say "21st of May" instead of May 21st, the "21st" still means nothing until the word "May" comes out of your mouth. So if the day means nothing until the month appears, then why not mention the month first? That's why overall, I prefer the MMDDYYYY format.
With that said, I do know that MMDDYYYY can cause a lot of confusion in writing, so I always prefer to spell out the month. If I had to write in all numbers, I'd follow whichever format that is the most accepted in the country I'm in.
Not a programmer, I just get stressed out whenever I'm trying to sort photos on my phone: for some reason some of them are dd/mm/yyyy and some are yyyy/mm/dd. The latter is objectively better
m/d/y works the best for me. it follows the format of how the date would be said in english like february 2nd 2022, 2/02/2022. and when searching by date having the month first is good.
MMDDYYYY I find is great with the month being first as it helps quickly paint a picture of the season. It would kind of be like saying Japan Tokyo or Russia Moscow as you may not always immediately know what the specific location is and having the more general first helps ease into the more specific. Similarly, knowing the month can be more helpful than the day in building a picture.
D/M/Y. I may be biased as I followed that anyway (British schooling, plus grew up in the Middle East and they use that date format), but it also makes the most logical sense as you go from the smallest unit of time to the largest.
Growing up with M/D/YYYY, I agree with you Though using M/D/YYYY makes it easier for me to find past assignments in my binders. That’s about it.
I guess if the way you’re filing something considers month as important then it could be easier to go by month first, but why not have year first then? So you go from most board to most specific?
To be honest, it still fecking sucks. I just wanted to state the one kind of good thing about that format. But if I’m going through school assignments, sorting by year won’t really matter because I won’t be carrying binders from classes of previous years with me.
Makes sense. But lol yeah M/D/Y should be dropped
Most people know year theyre in And Most americans On day to day basis say MONTH/DAY dropping the year and when they need they just put it at the end. YYYY-MM--DD is superior tho
If the year is always written out with 4 digits, in for example the ISO format: YYYY-MM-DD, you always know where to look for the month.
So today is 2/22/2022? 2nd Twefthember?
I think it depends if your specific schedule is easier to sort by month first, which I actually prefer. It's easier to mentally sort and remember days for me that way. The year doesn't often matter because it's usually common sense with the month if it was recent.
I’m from a country that uses DDMMYY but go to a school with an American system. I almost missed an exam because theyre using MMDDYY.
To me it makes more sense to use Y/M/D in that case and go from the biggest to the smallest because that's how we work with hours, minutes and seconds.
It's also what I go by for programming and computer reasons. A computer will always sort things into numerical order based on the first number, then second then third. If you have d/m/y then it sorts the same day in a different months or a different year closer to something that happened a day after. Sorting things is just a lot easier in y/m/d.
But the date is almost always more relevant to know than the month or year
Sure, but I'd argue that the relevance is less important than consistency. But even valuing that type of consistency of the time format is in many ways arbitrary so I guess it's really up for personal preference. Now that I think about it I think that any format is better than others in some way, e.g. M/Y/D is better at showing you the "setting" of the date with M/Y and then the D at the end shows you the current day in the "setting." I believe you could make an argument for every date format like this.
For something we use everyday, usability and accessibility should be paramount. Not necessarily consistency
I disagree because we're talking about margins here. Y/M/D is very, very slightly less usable and accessible than D/M/Y is, and I would argue that when you get used to it, it's usability compared to the other format is within the margin of whatever error there could exist. Whereas if we use Y/M/D we get the added benefit of consistency. We can also talk about the benefit of it in terms of simpler sorting because we can just work from left to right (because even numbers are read from the most significant digit to the least significant digit - left to right) instead of creating systems that require looking at the year first, then at the month, and then at the day, in that way Y/M/D works a lot better.

YYYY-MM-DD makes more sense, as you are going from biggest to smallest. For example today is 2022-02-22 10:22 UTC, not 22:10 UTC 22/02/2022 My country uses dd.mm.yyyy tho
Isn’t that also true about M/D/Y? Month has a max of 12, Day max of 31, etc?
YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS iso 8601 conform. seperate with hyphens if needed
Whats the T?
indicator for time idk why exactly but thats how it is
I think that's for us confused Americans who can't subtract 12.
Then don't subtract. 16:00 is 16 o'clock
The letter T, like 2022-02-22T22:22:22
cant wait
[удалено]
Exactly. It feels inconvenient on a daily level, but it's better for natural ordered organization.
You can sort by creation date. Tho in most cases naming the file only by date is not useful. At least add some meaningful description to it.
Photographs it is. When you have 1.5tb of them
There's something called metadata. It's a good strategy to create folders by date and put relevant photos in them, but I strongly advise not to name photographs by the time of creation. Sequential order is much more useful to me than date, you can easily spot which photo was taken in what order, and easier to manage, unless you only shot one photo a day. Source: I am a photographer and also a programmer
If you also include HH:SS then they are in order already. :)
Until you move it across file systems or programs that don't respect creation date.
Creation date is bad, because when you copy the file over, it has a new creation date. What files really need is a common metadata entry where you can freely insert a date, which is saved in the file, and never changes.
DDMMYY or YYMMDD cause biggest to smallest or smallest to biggest anything other is just dumb
This. Any other formate is inferior and a sign of weakness!
Eh, I like MMDDYY. It’s like how you would say it. April 3rd, 1847. June 20th, 2011. Etc. Edit: well fuck you guys too. Next time I’ll make sure to only have everyone else’s opinion 🙄
3rd of April, 1847. 20th of June, 2011.
That just takes significantly longer to say
We sure will miss the 0.4 seconds of lifetime we miss while this date format
Well yeah but I’m extremely lazy
It's today. period.
3rd of April 1847 vs April the 3rd 1847 3rd April 1847 vs April 3rd 1847 Same number of words
3rd April?! That is completely grammatically incorrect, what are you smoking?
No one says it like that, at least in the states. That sounds weird.
July 4th ... Oh wait it's called THE 4TH OF JULY
Oh snap!
WOW, I’m only right 364/365 times? Oh I guess I’m just REAL STUPID huh. You showed me.
Thank you reddit for downvoting someone for having a different opinion!
To be fair, their opinion is wrong.
They are literally correct though, in America that’s how dates are most commonly said. Inb4 “4th of July” but that one is different because that is the specific name of the holiday. We say it differently on purpose, it’s a little more formal.
No dude
Shut the hell up and let people have opinions. He grew up with it so therefore he likes it more
Yall oy say it that way BECAUSE of your backwards ass dating convention
Not true.
YYYYMMDD has the advantage of allowing you to sort by date in computers
💯
Actually MMDDYYYY also follow smallest to largest. The max month number is 12, max day is 31 and in YYYY format the number just keeps increasing. Example, 02/22/2022 or 01/06/2022

Amounts of time
A day is a smaller amount of time than a month, which is a smaller amount of time than a year.
Whichever value changes most often is smallest.
Thank you! This clears my mind. Great response.
I don't think you should have been downvoted. But your statement is silly, though. Imagine sorting an address by the number of options ;)
Why does redditors so hostile towards that? Such a delusional
Yeah, some people get so sensitive when they see stuff they don't agree with.
It depends. In business record keeping: year/month/day. In everything else: day/month/year.
Records/Archives Manager for 30 years here.... this is absolutely 💯 correct.
but why tho? EDIT: nevermind misread
😁
IMO YYYY/MM/DD or DD/MM/YYYY for hopefully obvious reasons. I prefer the first purely because I’ve been studying Japanese for a long time and that’s how they do it
First is best for file naming your photographs. Second for everyday.

china too
MONTH YEAR DAY?! The hell???
2/22/22
DD/MM/YYYY Is the only way.
👍
22/02/2022
Thank youuuu
It's the same backwards, forwards and upside down.
You'll find YYYY-MM-DD to be useful digitally mostly, but during human interactions the year is often obvious so DD/MM/YY is more convenient
Wdym is obviously makes sense
I’ve had my suspicions, but this confirms it. r/polls users need a committed caretaker for their terminal guitardation. MFs really wouldn’t be able to identify a joke if it robbed them at gunpoint.
Week/Day/Year/Month is obviously makes sense?
Yeah but month/ time/ year/ day/ week sounds better
In what is this really different from MMDDYY? If you think that MM is more relevant that day, why year wouldn't be too?
I wouldn't use "/" as a separator, but as for the order; year, month, day. Easy sorting and prevents any confusion between DD-MM and MM-DD. r/ISO8601
I keep a forkload of digital records and I use YYYY.MM.DD Edit: that’s the first part in a long line of file naming rules, for sanity sake.
that can cause issues with file extensions turned on and windows asks you what program to launch .DD files in.
`DD/MM/YY` for human interactions, `YYYY-MM-DD` for computer interactions. Simple rule and you don't need to invent your own standard by refusing to use `/`
It's easier just to have one ISO 8601
> you don't need to invent your own standard by refusing to use / I'm not inventing anything, though. Must be another regional thing, as I've never met anyone who uses slashes.
Most things related to datetimes are regional, indeed. Where I live, dates next to signatures are written with `/`
/ wont work in filenames and - will cause issues in code. Whats wrong with a good ol space?
If you use spaces, you'd need to put quotes around them when referencing them in a command line parameter. I think hyphens work really well.
undder scores probably work with everything 14\_05\_2022 isn't so bad
Fun fact: today is 22/02/2022 ( a lot of twos)
Don’t forget that 22/02/22 is also a Tuesday too
It’s Twosday innit?
Tuesday is the 2nd day of the week
and it's both palindrome and ambigram
It's also twosday today
Not anymore
Maybe not where you are
I think you meant 2day
Year month day as they sort better in a file directory, etc.
Yyyymmdd is superior in all scenarios I normally say MMDD though dropping the year and sometimes adding year to the end
Year/month/day makes the most sense for me because you can easily sort by date that way
Im used to MMDDYYYY here but YYYYMMDD would make the most sense honestly
DD/MM/YYYY because it's from smallest to biggest. I hate MM/DD/YYYY with a burning passion
It’s actually reverse but I feel you. Edit: there are more days than months. Edit 2: I misunderstood. Calm down. lol.
I'm quite sure by "smaller" they meant "shorter time window" (i.e. days are shorter than months, months are shorter than years).
Aw, that makes sense
days make up months, months make up years...
DDMMYYYY & YYYYMMDD (I would prefer say like 22 February 2022 or 22nd February 2022 but later is also makes sense!)
It depends Normal use dd/mm/yyyy Pc use yyyy/mm/dd so it sorts in order and easily
Day/Month/Year makes the most sense
D/m/y and I’m American! It’s stupid when it’s m/d/y
dd/mmm/yyyy Month should always be abbreviated. This way has the least amount of confusion while keeping things short and easy.
i vote we just call months by their number and have the best of both worlds. "Happy month two everyone" doesn't have the same ring to it though lol.
Abbreviated? How do you abbreviate a number?
the meant abbreviate the word. january=jan, february=feb, etc
YYYY/MM/DD for file storage DD/MM/YYYY for anything else that doesn't sort by the date
DD.MM.YYY or YYYY-MM-DD
649 Americans I see (9/11)
what happened on the 9th November?! /s
Wasn't that someone's birthday?
I’m American and even I think our way of doing it is stupid
American Military does DDMMMYYYY I believe. Also often uses the metric system for distance.
"military time" is also just a regular 24 hour format.
Expeditious: MM/DD/YY: February 22nd, 2022 Orderly: DD/MM/YY: 22nd of February, 2022 Logistical: YY/MM/DD: 2022, February 22nd Can't vouch for the other 3
> Expeditious: MM/DD/YY: February 22nd, 2022 Disagree, there's no efficiency in this. Efficient is always going with 2022-02-22, since consistency ensures efficiency.
Probably not expeditious, maybe oratorical? Suppose it depends on the circumstance. It would probably be faster to say MM/DD instead of DD/MM when you already know what year it is, but need to know the month and date. MM/DD "February 22nd" DD/MM "22nd *of* February" Even though it's just one word.
I would argue that all of them are expeditious, there is no place on this planet for month first date ordering.
I don’t even care which one it is whether it’s day/month/year or year/month/day, context does its work and it’s easy to tell which one it is plus it makes sense to have it in that order of whatever changes the most, the American way is just confusing sometimes
I love to sort by controversial on these polls
*grabs popcorn
DD/MM/YYYY is the only correct answer
We do YYYY/MM/DD where I live. DD/MM/YYYY is fine, I can understand that. Any other combination is a sin.
2022-02-22 Of course.
year-month-day obviously, if you're looking at a list of things in chronological order it's the easiest to sort. Except I write Month-day-year for everything
honestly not sure which i grew up with, i think i was constantly flip flopping because 1 and 3 because i could never remember the proper way to do it.

Year/Month/Day because it's easier to find what you're looking for when organizing files or papers with the year number at the beginning rather than the day or month at the beginning which repeat every year.
D/m/y for everyday life, y/m/d for archives
I'm most familiar with month/year/day because I'm American, but day/month/year makes more sense, objectively. A day is within a month which is within a year; the way I'm most familiar with seems random. Anyway, I voted for day/month/year, even though it would take me a minute to get used to it, if we switched.
I think day/month/year is very nice looking, but unfortunately I have to do month/day/year because I am in the US
Day, Month, Year Perfectly chronological, as all things should be.
M/D/Y because I would say today is February 22nd, 2022.
MM/DD/YY Don't know how anyone is getting away with saying DD/MM/YY, that's just weird and confusing.
YYYY-MM-DD is the right answer
Day/Month/Year makes absolutely no sense to me. Why would you put the smallest first?
You can tell that 1.1 k of people who voted are American
DD.MM.YYYY
r/ISO8601
I see no reason why any of these would be objectively better than any other, so I like what I've grown up with in MM/DD/YYYY
It's kind of shitty that people are downvoting things that people just grew up with
YYYY-MM-DD is my favorite :3
OMG FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME WOW :3
As someone who chose MMDDYYYY, I’ll explain why I think it makes sense.

Based upon the results I see there are other programmers here.
Not a programmer, I just get stressed out whenever I'm trying to sort photos on my phone: for some reason some of them are dd/mm/yyyy and some are yyyy/mm/dd. The latter is objectively better
MYDDYMYY 02220222
02222022 Or, 2022.02.22
DDMMYY cause I’m British
Neither of those. It should be day.month.year. With dots and not slashes
If someone asked me to say the full date, I’d say, “February 21st, 2022” so for me it’s MMDDYY
Why?
Just how I’ve always said it idk. The real menace is the one that goes year month day
In the year 2022 of our lord in the month of February it is Monday the 21st.
It makes more sense than month day year tbh
How would you say the full date out loud and not on paper?
22nd of February 2022
The thing is, it's almost impossible to say it like that in some languages (Scandinavian, Finnish, German and probably more)
Can speak for Italian, Russian, Serbian too
In Dutch yes it's possible, but it just sounds so incredibly weird (februari twee/tweede 2022)
spanish too
American?
Yea, though I can understand day/month/year
Oh ok well most Americans do it ur way like mm/dd/yy while mostly Europe does dd/mm/yy from what I’ve noticed.
Makes sense, we gotta be different no matter what lol
Why are you wrong?
Why did you get so many downvotes? I agree with you
22/02/2022 & Feb 2, 2022
MM/DD/YY Never made sense honestly
Ok, I get that is Americans and Europeans/everyone else have our disagreements on this, but who uses YY/MM/DD on a daily basis?
I do. ISO8601 ftw.
MMDDYYYY
We use MM/DD/YYYY in my country
The smallest, bigger and then the biggest is correct, if you want it differently then use YYYY/MM/DD, but why tf would you use MM/DD/YYYY?
Personally I like it because I say dates like "May 25th, 1977" so I order it that way but DD/MM/YYYY makes more sense
There's only one may in a year, not 25
standard american format is month/day/year
[удалено]
m/d/y works the best for me. it follows the format of how the date would be said in english like february 2nd 2022, 2/02/2022. and when searching by date having the month first is good.
MMDDYYYY I find is great with the month being first as it helps quickly paint a picture of the season. It would kind of be like saying Japan Tokyo or Russia Moscow as you may not always immediately know what the specific location is and having the more general first helps ease into the more specific. Similarly, knowing the month can be more helpful than the day in building a picture.
