The only reasonable way to write a date/time is YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" Unique interpretation, and sorted date strings are chronological. Whatever a software offers as time display options users might find convenient, there should always be the option to use this format for *all* dates, even if they happen to be "today", "Easter Monday", "last Halloween" or something else. -- Helmut Richter
