Great idea! I'd like to make a german version, since the two digit numbers are sorted differently. E.g. 34 is sorted vier(4)_und_dreißig(30).

I made an alphabetically-organised clock. I am sorry.

Why limit yourself? — make a 24-hour version and you have 86,400 possible times!

This is the kind of thing that's completely useless and I absolutely love it. Bookmarked.

the combined mode sorting all 43,200 possible times alphabetically is the real commitment.eight comes before eleven so 8am hits before 11am alphabetically the day is completely scrambled genuinely useless and genuinely delightful.
