Well, I think International is better because I like it when people set a worldwide standard that simplifies it for everyone. But I just cant get used to it so I use American. Same thing for measurements, I cant get used to metric but I think its better.
er... thats what i use. Either have most significant to least (good for machine sorting, or least to most (easier for humans) - don't go e.g. MM/DD/YYYY, that's.... silly.
Yeah in spreadsheet/databases if your not using a pre-formatted date, then you should use YYYYMMDD for sorting purposes. I was once given the task of modifying a program written in MS Access and all the fields in the database were text. Very annoying, luckily they had used that format and made it easy to find information in the database sorted by date even if it was in text and not Integer or Date.
why not make it an option that you could choose yourself? so that way we won't have arguements on which is better if the user picks the one that they are most suited to.
it all really depends on where your from and what your used to seeing. if from america, like myself, then u most likely prefer MM/DD/YYYY cuz thats what your used to seeing, if not, then u probably prefer DD/MM/YYYY cuz thats what your used to seeing.
when ever I program using dates I always do yyyy/mm/dd .. or if I am giving it to people who vary there dates I use this method .. it is the most accurate way to handle it .. and the best way I found in programming.
so what day were you born in words. i was born on April Twenty-Second Nineteen Eighty-Three. mm/dd/yyyy. i never tell people i was born on the 22nd of April so i like mm/dd/yyyy because it's how we talk.
Haven't you noticed the date change already? Its gone to what I suggested, the long name date format. Everyone should understand it and its not bias toward International or US format, so nither party can complain.
