Yeah I thought that was really confusing! I would have expected that for countries that commonly read left to right and count from small to big the format of day(smallest common date unit)/month/year(largest common date unit) would at least be a sensible default if unable to detect the exact clients country standard, failing that the ISO of YEAR-MONTH-DAY would be fine but not jumbling it up like this and putting the day between the month and year - I know my comment could sound a bit ‘flamey’ but I’m purely interested / invested from the point of view of logical or biology, I don’t care about ‘X country does Y better’.
- afafa12 9y agoThat would be the case if not the fact US used date format different to everybody else. Is 01/05/2000 1st of May or 5th of January? The answer is: cannot tell without context!
- moogly 9y agoThe company I work for settled for the presentation format "23 Oct 2017" for this reason, which is also why we can't use these standard controls :/
