      My favorite thing about this date format is using it in file names. Sorting the files by name also sorts them by date.

      Everything is right about it:

      • Lexographic sort
      • Unambiguous months and days
      • Acceptable on any document of record (lab, legal, medical, personal)
      • Readable by nearly any culture (even us Americans)
