      When I worked in radio production, basically everything was formatted like YYYY-MM-DD. Which means stuff is really to find and properly in chronological order.

      I still use the MM-DD format for my own file formatting, even though DD-MM is the Dutch standard.

      YYYY-MM-DD is god’s perfect date notation as far as I’m concerned.

      Yeah - I don’t get to determine what date format 3rd party reports are generated in before I import into excel.

      But excel has formatting options specifically designed to address this that it just ignores half the time.
