| Dec 20, 2015 at 10:43 | comment | added | Ismael Miguel | @edc65 I know. But I was showing to someone that there indeed is a "common sane order". And showed which order was that. | |
| Dec 20, 2015 at 10:33 | comment | added | edc65 | @IsmaelMiguel then use that format and all this function is pointless. The fact is: you cannot get a date in any format and guess what the date is. | |

@πάνταῥεῖ There is. It's called ISO 8601.

| Dec 19, 2015 at 21:14 | comment | added | πάντα ῥεῖ | @isanae There's no common sane order, that's the major flaw of the OPs code. | |
| Dec 19, 2015 at 21:08 | comment | added | isanae | I guess the title should be edited to "any sane order" then. | |
| Dec 19, 2015 at 20:57 | comment | added | Edward | While I completely agree that it would be great to have a single format world wide, that's not quite the case today. So "any order" isn't really supported by the program, is it? | |

But 3 10 2010 is used only in a single country as having the month in the middle. The logic of that country is flawed, since you provided the date as month day year. I agree with the O.P. on this one.

It could be better. No system puts the year in the middle, so a strategy of identifying the year by looking for the largest number would work in many cases and be an improvement over the current algorithm. One could also peek at the current locale for a hint.
