Agreed Seems many folks have now realized it's much easier to 'sort'
dates when the format for yyyy-mm-dd (yyyymmdd or even yyyymmdd-hhmm -
military time) is used. I'd hate to sort through data that use(s/d) the
mmddyyyy/etc. Very ackward! With the yyyymmdd format - it's already in
chronological order and so much easier (to analyze).
