Actually not accurate for "Rest of the World", China uses year month day.

Which is the best date format for sorting stuff alphabetically.

I also do because it is ISO standard. I also do 24 hours for time. I wish scheduling application would do that. I don't know how many times I have scheduled a meeting for 8PM the following day instead of 8AM.

@SeaJ I agree on time, 24 hours makes it a lot easier to communicate times with people in other time zones and easier to calculate from GMT.

What china, isn't year-month-day some iso norm?

[-] Knusper@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, ISO 8601 or better yet: RFC 3339.

(You're actually allowed to read the latter.)

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, just saw that someone mentioned it already.

[-] orangeboats@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

All of East Asia use the same format.
