Hello Fernando,

Quote:
However we are now converging to one only system, putting the year in the first place, the month in second and the day in the end (2018/07/04); we already find many blank forms with the corresponding spaces pre-formated ... and even legended. Whether this new system is legally obliging and is European and not only Portuguese, i would have to check.
Nothing binding yet AFAIK - I see it often in scientific contexts; it certainly allows for much better sorting! (Commonly given as 2018-07-04, possibly to differentiate it from the other notions involving slashes or dots as in 4.7.2018 ...)

BTW, Ian, does it matter? (Both dates being in the past...)

Regards,
Kai
