Amazon should've made Prime Day fall on a date corresponding to an actual three-digit prime number. (sh.itjust.works)

Amazon is running a Prime Day sale on July 16 and 17. Setting aside the fact that this is two separate days, neither 716 nor 717 are prime numbers. They should've done 7/19 instead.

For every day purposes, absolutely. For programming? Nope, the only right answer is big->small.

Honestly, the alternative to every day use is to stop using numbers for the month

The problem with three letter month codes is language to language difference. Numbers are more universal.
