    I think learning all abbreviations for different months in different languages is more complicated than just learning that the time is sorted from largest to smallest unit.

        I know, right! I’ve been campaigning for this for everyday numbers. For example, twenty seven should be written smallest first: 72. Likewise this year is 5202, and next year 6202. That way no-one’s going to be confused at all.

        If you name files or other data with ISO 8601 then they’re always sorted chronologically when you go largest to smallest.
