Most applications can't sort the way you request using the date format
you specify. Almost all algoritms sort starting with the first
character and then second and so on. This is pretty logical since that
is how sorting should be done.

What you actually ask for is that there is a sort method for every date
format. Not an unusual request. I believe the data is stored in a single
database column so it is actually up to MySQL for providing the ability
to sort like you would like. Don't know if this is possible.

The US uses the YYYY.MM.DD format. It's just easier to read and sort.
But us europeans often use a DD.MM.YYYY format.
