Edit: Thanks all for the responses, guess it's more about what's important between the 2 of you. After around a decade, things are starting to feel a bit repetitive I guess so I was trying to see if I could gain some fresh ideas.

ISO 8601 is the objectively right way to write dates so they’re always sorted in chronological order.

Not only in order but also

  1. very human-obvious (international 1-1-2020 is not obvious if day-mo-year or mo-day-year)
  2. Allows for arbitrary additional levels of precision to be appended. (E.g. year-mo-day-hour-min-sec-etc)
