ISO 8601 is the standard date format in a number of European countries, but you do you.

[roelschroeven]

It is? I've only ever seen dd/mm/yyyy or dd/mm/yy as standard date format, with different separators instead of / depending on the country.

It's used in Sweden, at least.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

[dspillett]

It isn't used on any official forms and such that I'm aware of, at least outside technical circles, but people don't tend to have a problem with YMD ordered formats when they are used.

Sweden used YYYY-MM-DD before ISO 8601 was even written, and many other countries use it too.

[dspillett]

I know at least some countries further East used it as a matter of course, but I wasn't aware any countries in/near Europe did.

YYYY-MM-DD+Z is pretty much the standard.
