I also use the same format while naming my files, or in changelogs or whatnot, but not all documents are suitable for that, and in the presentation layer you need to match the country standards.
However, date is mostly presentation and internal storage of these are vastly different than what we see generally.
- bluGill 2y agoI don't match country standards. That is the point.
- kelnos 2y agoIt depends on what you're doing, though. If you're helping people fill out documents (even non-government documents), then you really need to match the country standard. Localization is important; some countries outright require it if you're going to do business within their borders. But even where it's not required, you will lose customers if your website/application/product feels "foreign". I'm not sure date ordering is a big enough deal to trigger that feeling in anyone, but unless it's a huge burden to format things the way people expect, I would do so for the UX benefits.
