Actually it depends on how your calendar is set. In Europe it will be
September 8th

How about 06:07:08 09/10/11, or are you saying the sequence must start
with 05:06:07

Only if you use mm/dd/yy (and only 2 digits for yy) for the datestamp
format. Of course, sorting on that format means sorting by month
instead of by day. Obviously a bad sorting format. I'm sure other
nonsensical or historical formats could come up with another sequence.
The logical format would be yy/mm/dd (to also match the hh:mm:ss format
you used) for sorting. That means it won't be until 10/11/12 (Nov 12,
2010) at either at 07:08:09 (hh:mm:ss) AM or PM when the sequence you
infer will occur. As for not reoccuring until 3010, well, that
obviously reoccurs every 1000 years when using only 2 digits for the
year.

Of course, in another thousand years, we'll still be using Windows XP
for your post to be on-topic here assuming newsgroups are still around
then, too. Uh huh.

Thanks, but I read it and still wasn't sure if he meant the exact
number sequence or a similar number sequence. He said "it" and "this"
which could mean "this exact number system" or it could mean "a number
sequence such as this."

Why wouldn't the same date and time in 2110 produce the same result?

Indeed it will. But it will still be wrong. Ignoring the century,
this serial phenomenon will happen on 2010-09-08, 07:06:05; that is,
September 8, 7am.
If we don't ignore the century, the phenomenon falls on 2019-18-17,
16:15:14, that is, June 17, 2020, 4pm. :)

Look again, I think you have a few typos. ;-)

When are you going to quit making an ass of yourself. You're destroying your
already idiotic personality.
You better go back to your dorm room and lock yourself in.
