      Majority of the world uses YYYY-MM-DD. Day 1st makes no sense. If you need the month or year it should come 1st. You need to zoom into what you need not select from any number of months with the same day. That would be like putting time with seconds 1st.

        Not really, most countries use YYYY-MM-DD to save documents, photos or archive papers.

        DD-MM-YYYY is for daily usage.

    Alright, then I guess change the way you read a clock too… My day to day use doesn’t include the year at all. Just mm/dd

      Why change the way you read a clock? year/month/day hour:minute:second

      You would never read a clock as minute:second:hour, which is analagous to how Americans phrase dates.
