    In every left to right language, the largest value numerical digits are on the left, smallest value digits are on the right.

    The country doesn’t matter. Years are bigger than months. Months are bigger than days. If your country does anything other than YYYY*MM*DD, they’re doing numbers wrong.

      I don’t get the downvotes. Even if no country at all uses it, there is only one correct order of the numbers.

      I’m glad you get to define wrong for everyone else

      Also I got news for you

      There are a variety of formats that are thriving and in constant use all over the world that differ from what you consider correct

      (I’ve never encountered a date format nazi before, this is first contact for me.)
