The date format - yyyy mmm dd (month being letters) is the most common and
most useable format for people using the date as a sort and/or search method,
particular in genealogy. I'm tired of having to see the date in the opposite
direction I want it. I want to see the year first, then the Month in a 3
letter abbreviation,then the days. An acceptable compromise would be yyyy mm
dd - then punctuation would be necessary to make the numerals more readable.
Thank you.
