For me, the only format that doesn't make sense is the MM/DD/YYYY, together with its rarely seen worse sibling, MM/DD/YY (07/27/26).

Let's just go with YM/DY/MD (27/26/07)

But only for Americans, and make them weirdly dogmatic about it.

Agreed. It's objectively mixing the order (medium/small/large)

lpszReleaseDate ;-)

LoL

You can sort dates and they are in order with this format.

You mean a Big Endian.
