Except it doesn’t sort well in any fashion and it requires two different types of contexts to interpret. It’s easier to screw up the order of a month by name than it is to screw up the order of a number. Not saying we should play to least common denominator, but we should be making it as easy as possible. I’d prefer sorting speed over needing to learn how to interpret the date correctly if every single date is stored the same way.
