I think learning all abbreviations for different months in different languages is more complicated than just learning that the time is sorted from largest to smallest unit.

No! It’s the other way around, from largest to smallest is a mess and it makes no sense

If you name files or other data with ISO 8601 then they're always sorted chronologically when you go largest to smallest.

So true, bestie! That's why all the clocks in my house are formatted ss:mm:hh

I know, right! I've been campaigning for this for everyday numbers. For example, twenty seven should be written smallest first: 72. Likewise this year is 5202, and next year 6202. That way no-one's going to be confused at all.
