    Nah, it falls apart if you include time. YYYYMMDD hh:mm:ss makes more sense than DD/MM/YYYY hh:mm:ss.

        I'm fine with 2 systems, DD/MM/YYYY for general use because that's a good format for personal scheduling, but YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss for anything involving work or industry because having the year first is useful for maintaining historical data.

        Starting with the biggest bucket and searching down from there can save a lot of compute and search time.
