But M/D's context is not ISO, it is M/D/Y, and that's stupid. It predates the ISO format you mention in its defence by quite some time. It's like an inverse medal-winner's podium. D/M's context is D/M/Y and that's a more sane. Y/M/D obviously sorts better thus ISO. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
