3 is best. And also ISO. Most notably because if you have dates in that format, alphabetical.sort and sort by date are the same thing. You can also continue from there to increasing degrees of precision, like 2025-09-01 23:02:35 and that remains true.

Please delete 4. Literally no one wants or uses it. It's just FUD for 3.

Agreed, chaotic evil right there

Absolutely. Go with the lawful and/or good, but this is both messed up and corrupting.

Number 4 only works in a Terminator/Arnold Schwarzenegger accent.
