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.
