YYYY-MM-DD for electronic sorting.
DD-MMM-YYYY for everything else.
Edited to add: it is wild to me that people downvote someone else's opinion about something so mundane.
If you are going to provide a separate format for readability, make it
ddd MMM dd, yyyy
! Day of week is quite relevant to humans.The 1st of September, year of our Lord 2025 AD.
September 1st, 1981 AD, 12:01PM and 5 seconds, 35 feet west of Paris, Wisconsin on the Horizon
I think using three digits for the month is a bit confusing. :)
I don't like DD-MM-YYYY. I think it should be DD.MM.YYYY. This way you can distinguish between the date formats in those cases where people only use two digits for the year. Hyphen as a seperator means year in front, a dot means year at the end. And a slash implies the bad format.
MM.DD.YYYY is illegal. It's random. Just sort by how big the time unit is and get DD.MM.YYYY
If you want it to be analogous to other numbers, YYYY-MM-DD makes more sense - from largest unit to smallest. We don't say e.g. 1024 metres as "24 metres and 1 kilometre" either.
Wait until you hear how the French say numbers.
