Japan isn't on its own wavelength, most of East Asian does this, probably because they all decided they wanted to be like China: which was a government which governed more. https://youtu.be/Mh5LY4Mz15o?t=1m7s
Hey… it sorts properly alphabetically
Only within the same century, which is an issue for those of us born last millennium (or managing systems from that time), and could be a real problem in 50-ish years when we could get the first duplicates.
Better to stick with YYYY-MM-DD for alphabetical sorting
Its the same for all East Asian countries as well, but I guess slapping JAPAN on it means fast upvotes, like that "Place, Japan" meme.
Military be like 23/NOV/2023
Japan I can get behind but MM/dd/yyyy is just evil, why would you sandwich days between months and years? You monster
It makes sense to either go general to specific or specific to general. MM-DD-YYYY is neither.
How about 0xYYYMDD or 0xYYYYMDD if you need years after 4095 for some reason.
Today is 0x7e7b16
YY/MM/DD SUPREMACY
TIL that I'm Japanese
