I’d say perfect date is dd-mm-yyyy. All other formats are just wrong
Terrible date format.. Not sortable numerically and often confused with mm-dd-yyyy.
yyyy-mm-dd is the only way
YYYY-MM-DD if I'm inputting on a computer.
But I've recently converted to YYYY-MMM-DD for anything handwritten.
Because if someone is able to confuse 2024-APR-27 then they're the problem.
But the former format is better for digital sorting.
The reverse even sorts itself.
