In Response to: [Q] okay, days should stay without leading zero (Hartmut Schneider)

An interesting discussion.

When dealing internationally there is a distinct possibility of the wrong date being selected particularly if both the date and the month is a single digit with or without leading zeros. To overcome this if the problem arises I use the format dd-mmm-yyyy or dd-mmmm-yyyy. I always set the computer clock this way as well.

Inside a spreadsheets I always add the leasing zeros to date and make them use the mmm format for clarity.

When file naming particularly if the time it was created may be relevant at a later time I always use yyyy-mm-dd so that the sorting by a file manager or the operating system is correct.

My two cents worth.
