Why not use the Debian standard?? day-of-week, dd month yyyy hh:mm:ss +zzzzToo verbose, not sortable Cheers, Kelly ClowersSo... the RFC standards for internet communication is not good enough? or the Debian Policy standard or the standard of *this* mailing list:- (eg. as used in http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/04/msg00141.html) And *you* can't sort the in-place standards? Let me guess - do you also use the imperial measurement system? Did someone mention Cultural Imperialism earlier? ;-p
I've always thought that Unix Time is *incredibly stupid* (who the heck says "Fri Apr 1 23:27:41 CDT 2011"?) and *monumentally shortsighted* (did nothing happen before 01-Jan-1970?).
OpenVMS does it one of the two Right Ways of displaying time (01-Apr-2011 23:27:41) and has an epoch date of 17-NOV-1858 00:00:00.00 (modified Julian date adopted by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory for satellite tracking) and keeps time in a signed 64 bit integer using 100ns resolution).
