The most important thing is the day, so it should always be in front, because the month changes only 1 time a month and the year 1 time a year.
Europeans are most efficient with the time format

And yet this efficient reasoning doesn't extend to time eg ss:mm:hh ?

I believe the best is the year in front, then the month, and then date... is easier for sorting....

but lately I think the "ticks" logic is the best... i had a problem with calcucation ticksperday, tickspersecond... but i ll find the way to use it when i talk too

A new proposed standard: ALTA-STA-RN-NF-SOL
ALTA - A Long time Ago
ASTA - A Short Time Ago
RN - right now
NF - in the near future
SOL - sooner or later
They are disussing whether ALTA is strictly needed..

There are timezones like GMT, PST, UTC and Day Time Saving which make DateTime more confusing

Said the database admin, too when summer/wintertime changes the time +1/-1h two times a year

I'd really like to know how they don't go crazy with measures like inches, pounds,... instead of using the decimal system, with centimeters, hectograms, kilos,... ? ?

 

[emexes]
