Post Title Date Format Request

Hi,
 
Can we use but one format when putting dates in "sticky" post titles like in the ones above? It appears 2 different formats are currently being used which, at some point, will confuse everyone.
 
"East" format = dd/mm/yyyy
"West" format = mm/dd/yyyy
 
Otherwise if a future post has 9/10/2018 in the title, we won't know if it's September 10th or October 9th.

    If we're smart enough to figure out how to use sonar.cakewalk, we're smart enough to figure out how to figure out what day it is. At least I hope we are.

    Absolutely.
     
    That said I've never understood why the 9th of November is so significant to some people.

    I'm not sure Europe and South America is in the East
     

     
    "Smart' format = dd/mm/yyyy  (Small/Medium/Big)
    "Dumb' format = mm/dd/yyyy  (Medium/Small/Big)

    On further reflection, maybe this is a good idea. Whatever Bandlab wants to do, as long as it's consistent, we can figure it out. Whatever the most universal, logical format, just use that, we can all figure it out. At least most days...

    "East" format = dd/mm/yyyy
    "West" format = mm/dd/yyyy

    Yes please plus one! 
     
    But....
    mm/dd/yyyy = USA
    dd/mm/yyyy = Rest of the world (including the West) - this format would probably be the most understood :)

    Splat, Win 10 64bit and all sorts of musical odds and sods collected over the years, but still missing a lot of my old analogue stuff I sold off years ago.

    It's probably more diplomatic, and less confusing being nether of the other too.

    Old habits die hard. Like when the US tried to switch to the metric system.
