    Default Word order

    Dear all,

    Which word order you you think is better?

    1. I'm arriving in New York at 3:00 pm, on November 28th, Monday.
    2. I'm arriving in New York at 3:00 pm, on Monday, November 28th.

    Thank you!

    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
