        But doesn't that make sorting awful? What's the advantage of putting the day of month first?

        You should come to Sweden. We are one of the few countries that has actually adopted ISO 8601 as the national standard.

        Confucianism takes the same principle further, but with people names: surname, middle name (same as siblings), given name. Probably a step too far.
