    No love for YYYY-MM-DD?

    If you see a date in that format, it's pretty unambiguous.

    Days are shorter than months, which are shorter than years.

    Makes sense to go with smallest to largest.

    Ah, but the month number set is smaller than the day number set. It makes just as much sense to order by sets.

    Plus, starting with the month gives you time to remember what day it is without having to sit there awkwardly.
