It is even more logical to use
Year/month/day/hour/minute/second/decimal seconds
I seem to recall that this is an ISO standard.
It is a pity that we don't all change to this which is more logical than
the UK etc. standard and certainly much less confusing than the way the
Americans define their dates.
All the best
