Pi day is a fake holiday created by people who don't know how to format dates. Also, relevant xkcd.

Biggest to smallest - makes it easy to sort by date for things like folders of photos. And other things, I’m sure.

Biggest to smallest fails though for years which are smaller than the months, and for months which are smaller than the days.

e.g. Dec 1st 2003, would be written 12/03/01 biggest to smallest

I don't think you've thought this through, and frankly I question your mother's sexual decency.

Four digit years are required, as are dashes. 2012-03-01

Do you even ISO, bro?

Biggest is referring to length of time, not number. Years are bigger than months are bigger than days, temporally.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I mean biggest to smallest in units of time (year/month/day)

[–] tetris11@feddit.uk -2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

nah
