Be it ISO 8601 YYYY-MM-DD or even YYYY-Mon-DD format (2022-04-25 in folder/file names, 2022 Apr 25 in text that need no sorting). A 4-digit year is necessary to prevent ambiguity when the digits are low (09/12/15 could be any of 3 different dates and 01-Sep-12 could be any of 2 different dates), and big-endian is way better if things are going to be sorted on computers. the forum itself allows the user to choose the yyyy-mm-dd format along with a 24h time format.
Amen! 90% of my files lead with the YYYY-MM-DD prefix for exactly that reason, and I try to use it elsewhere as well (check writing being an exception -- contact your bank!). Unfortunately, we're creatures of habit, and habits, even really bad ones, die hard.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
