Finally, I can find the month I want!
Now to enter my phone number…
Instead of asking “why?” consider asking “why not?”
Imagine being able to autocomplete months.
Probably forgot to check the default for sort order. I’ve done that before.
Speaking as a UX designer, probably because some “product manager” decided it was too expensive to override the auto- sort that was applied before the designer was brought in to “pretty things up.”
There is no tone of bitterness in my comment, honestly there isn’t.
Obviously it’s a an act of protest so the months are officially remade to be alphabetically ordered.
Can’t we just call them
month 1tomonth 12like CJK languages do?But in alphabetical order: 1, 10, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
This is not even in alphabetical order, three couldn’t be before the four.
Computers sometimes sort in this logic: “1” is the first digit so everything that starts with “1” comes first. Alphabetical in this sense, not the names of the numbers written out as done in another comment under this post.
Which is why ISO 8601 is superior.
Oh, why i didn’t consider that, my education background didn’t help i guess, thank you.
No, it has to be month 0 to 11.
Unpopular opinion: the person in charge of that menu hates everyone. :)
thats neither unpopular not an opinion. that’s a well-known fact
