Cool example; can I steal that for the cheat page ;)
Perhaps can be integrated into the docs as well.

Yes, lol, "it's how we was raised."
Seems like every possible combo of MM, DD, and YYYY
is claimed by some country or other:
Y/M/D -- ISO 8601 "International Date" (China, Korea, Japan..)
D/M/Y -- India, Spain, much of the EU, AU,
M/D/Y -- US
I'd agree Y/M/D makes the most sense, esp. for sorting,
as it flows nicely into Y/M/D,H:M, largest-to-smallest unit.
Apparently though, D/M/Y (cyan on the following map) is most popular:
