Totally agree. This is one of the main uses of ISO date format that I routinely take advantage of. Most common scenario in my case is organizing my photos (mostly scanned from film, digital as well). I have a /path/to/photos directory and in that I have directories for each roll or group of photos named something like 20100601_00_nn_Subject (YYYYMMDD_<Roll number of that date>_<framenumber>_<subject string>). This way, the default order of listing is always chronological. And for the cases where I do not know the YYYY or MM or DD, I just use zeros. Works pretty well. In fact, there is no other date format that can work this good! Further, the ISO date format has a structure where the resolution gets finer as go towards the right. YYYY->MM->DD->HH->SS just shows smaller time units as we read it. I can understand if an average Joe sticks with non-ISO date formats. But for logic and computer related stuff, ISO format is the best choice, IMHO. -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.
