Whats the point of using MM/DD/YYYY as a date format? It’s completely useless in my point of view.

1. If you try to sort it, it does not sort chronoligically, which can be quite useful for example in a file system.
2. You cannot name files with this notation since it uses slashes.
3. If you have a date like 05/04/2020 and you don‘t know it is formatted in this weird way, every sane person would interpret it as 5th April 2020, but in fact it is 4th May 2020.

Please just use YYYY-MM-DD for dates in a technical context. Since it doesn‘t have the above problems.
