- Comment on How to use international date format, instead of American? 2 months ago:
Thank you.
However, my browser's language is set to English (United Kingdom), which normally gives monotonic dates.
Steps to reproduce:
- In Chromium, go to chrome://settings/languages.
- Under Preferred languages, ensure "English (United Kingdom)" is at the top (position 1) of the list.
- Go to this thread.
- Hover mouse cursor over my username for 2-3 secs, until overlay appears showing my "cake day".
- My "cake day" is shown as 7/23/2026, which is non-monotonic.

For items that might need sorting by name or date - like file names, or spreadsheet or database entries, I entirely agree.
But my question was not, "What is a sensible date format?" It was, "How can I get Mbin to show me dates in a monotonic date format."
