In Arabic we use DD/MM/YYYY but it actually gets written as YYYY/MM/DD since Arabic is written and read from right to left. When the year is dropped the confusing part is not what format is used here but rather does this website/software support RTL or is it just regular unformatted ASCII.
Edit: it’s still not ISO 8601 and it doesn’t solve the sorting issue
But if you type it as “[RTL invert]yyyy/mm/dd” it is automatically sorted correctly in ltr parsing systems but still displayed correctly (assuming it is supported which it seems to be on most devices nowadays).

Should work if you have an RTL invert character before, right? (Not that you could name files with the slashes.)
RTL invert characters are just for rendering purposes it doesn’t help with sorting also in older systems sometimes it was not supported.
But if you type it as “[RTL invert]yyyy/mm/dd” it is automatically sorted correctly in ltr parsing systems but still displayed correctly (assuming it is supported which it seems to be on most devices nowadays).
You want it displayed as “yyyy/mm/dd” so it’s actually “[RTL]dd/mm/yyyy”
