    I don’t know why anyone would ever argue against this. Least precise to most precise. Like every other number we use.

    (I don’t know if this is true for EVERY numerical measure, but I’m sure someone will let me know of one that doesn’t)

      They are all equally prescise. American one is stupid just like their stupid ass imperial units. European one is two systems slapped together(since they are rarely used together and when they are its the iso format) and iso is what european standard should be.

        You misunderstand my comment.

        I’m saying the digits in a date should be printed in an order dictated by which units give the most precision.

        A year is the least precise, a month is the next least, followed by day, hour, minute, second, millisecond.
