I can see the logic of the US way of abbreviating the date so all files can be sorted by month, but from a purely mathematical point of view and taking the notion that a day is smaller than a month, and a year the largest, does it not make sense that DD-MM-YY is the TRUE path
Jesting aside, I do take your point though and if I get a few requests in my blog (call to action?) then after version 201213, I will start naming the files BETA 1.005 on-wards so our ordinal brains can quickly identify our international updates.
