ISO_8601 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) is a pretty useful format, YYYYMMDD. Notably, the natural sort is also chronological. I suppose that the US, MM/DD/YY is also sortable (for the same year), more usefully than the UK DD/MM/YY. Still, I'm a started as a computer geek, so I tend to think IS-8601 before anything else :).
