How is day smaller than month? There are up to 12 values for month, but up to 31 for days

Why would the year, the least important, need to be first?

And why are the pieces of the pyramid made so the ISO standard is the only one that looks right? ss:mm:hh:DD:MM:YYYY would also order the numbers based on length, but would look terrible if represented like that

Well you read the least frequently changing part first, the year, because if you read the seconds first, then the thing's already changed before you've even finished reading it. /s

I just use millis since epoch

(Recently learned that this isn't accurate because it disguises leap seconds. The standard was fucked from the start)
