I actually started with the *American format* due to being American 🤭 but in my adulthood I noticed that YYYY-MM-DD in the file name (same place in file name) always solved my “sorting” issues. Then I just grew used to that format as my “preferred” format when possible.
I think for it to be universal, it would need to be YYYY-Month name-DD otherwise we’re just moving the MM/DD vs DD/MM issue to another format for the unfamiliar people. 😔
