There are several people in the comments saying they have to use 27 Feb 2013 because they work with people all over the world. I’m really confused - what does that solve that 2013-02-13 does not? I know that not every language spells months the English way so “Dec” or “May” aren’t universal. Is there some country that regularly puts year day month that would break using ISO 8601 or RFC 3339?

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.
