I've long wished we simply numbered days from the first of the year onward, and didn't bother with months. Today is 213.2013.

- sbierwagen 13y agoIf you're going to make that big of a change, why not go all the way and use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_time
- bobwaycott 13y agoWell, switching to metric is a far bigger change than people continuing to count the days consecutively through the year.
- maxerickson 13y ago2013.213 would sort better (in existing systems).
- bobwaycott 13y agoNaturally.
- ygra 13y agoActually in ISO-8601 it's 2013-213. There is a standard for dates and stuff we can readily use ;-)
- officemonkey 13y agoAt work, I prefer 2013-08-02, because humans can read and understand it, and it sorts correctly.
- ygra 13y agoYYYY-DDD sorts correctly too; and this was about day-of-year notation ;-). But agreed, generally everyone should use ISO 8601.
