Show dates in an unambiguous format that avoids day and month number confusion (e.g. "11 Aug 2025")

If the user's localised date format is available that would be ideal.

If not, please present dates (e.g. shown for auto-saved designs) in a way that avoids confusion between day and month numbers.

Month-day-year seems to be a US convention, with basically the rest of the world using either day-month-year or year-month-day.

When a four-digit year is used it's not going to be confused with the other two numbers, but day and month values definitely have an overlap. For example, I’m seeing “8/11/2025” on my auto-saved designs from todays testing, but that’s 8 November 2025 to me. It’s actually 11 August 2025.

Perhaps using text for the month part, will avoid much of the confusion without requiring actual localisation?

(I personally like yyyy-mm-dd as it sorts nicely and is reasonably unambiguous as there isn’t a convention with the month and day swapped around, but it’s a bit geeky.)
