Why isn't this (or something similar) in the official
definition (or in the notes)? :-(

I now had 3 different answers, each of them (more or less)
contradicting each other. :-(((

For insance, you say, the order is year, month, day, another one say its
day, month, year because of ISO. Official definition also uses the day,
month, year ordering.

It's nice you all try to explain how detri is used =E2=80=9Cin actual usage=
=E2=80=9D,
but it seems that =E2=80=9Cactual usage=E2=80=9D varies to a great extent, =
so it is not
really useful. :-/

IMO we need a clear and well-defined OFFICIAL definition for detri, not
several contradicting ad-hoc definitions.

According to your answers so far, I can't even safely make sense out of
something like =E2=80=9Cli pa pi'e re pi'e ci detri=E2=80=9D, because you d=
on't seem
to even agree on the ordering. :-(
