Time format OT Was: SDLnet: get my own IP

Well Quite many people use that ordering. The ISO standard date format
is YYYY-MM-DD and mostly because the order is locigally continuous if
sorted as text.
And the ISO time format is YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS TZ, which is normaly
used in Postgres SQL server for example.On 2002.03.21 17:50 David Olofson wrote:

And add to that the three ways of representing dates:

Europe: DD/MM/YYYY
US : MM/DD/YYYY
China : YYYY/MM/DD

BTW, we seem to use the chinese variant most of the time in Sweden…
