You normally use dates to keep track of a series of stuff for future reference. We read left to right.
Do you want to read 01 or 2013 first? Do you care about the day and month if it’s from 13 years ago?
Relevance is made much more apparent in my opinion.
I can’t stay productive with 20 tabs or applications open. I waste time searching. I feel drained if I’m working on a tough job and need something that is hidden. Maybe it’s on another desktop. Maybe it’s open in another instance. Maybe it’s not even open. Not for me.
