      US Army logistics catalogs are organized this way. “Cookies, oatmeal” instead of “Oatmeal cookies” because it’s a lot easier to find what you need an a giant alphabetical list.

      How any large organization gets away with not using YYYY-MM-DD format is beyond me.

      Taking over some of my previous directors files is like chaos.

      How anybody publishing entire internet memos without a date being on the first page is beyond me. Like wtf am I reading a PDF from 15 years ago or last month?
