Previously all December, November and October posts were buried
below February, because 2019/2/1 (Feb 1) is lexicographically
above (in front of?) 2019/10/1 (Oct 1). This is not how mother
nature intended it in ISO8601:

Let's correct this mistake by sorting dates with zero prefixed
month and day numbers to make all dates of fixed size.

Among other things, this puts Rust 1.40 (released 2019-12-19)
as the version newer than Rust 1.38 (released 2019-09-26),
which is now linked as the latest version on rust-lang.org,
despite link saying it's Rust 1.40.

Closes #500

Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @alexcrichton (or someone else) soon.

If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. Due to the way GitHub handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes.

Please see the contribution instructions for more information.
