As another swede, I dare you!

We swedes use standardized ISO 8601 dates such as YYYY-MM-DD as dictated by our excellent government and you find it in use in our social security number, government correspondence and mostly everywhere.

> YYYY-MM-DD as dictated by our excellent government

Same here in germany! ...Which is the reason why everyone ignores it in favour of the traditional format.

I love democracy, and also mountain-shaped temporal unit ordering ^ It's 28.05.2025 13:15.

Text-ordering by date is a nightmare because everything is first grouped by day-of-month, then month, then year! :)
