I’m not sure if I can see your point. Is this a programming thing? I’ve seen this sentiment a couple of times on Lemmy and I don’t get it. For me it’s more logical to state a date the way you speak (I’m no English native speaker, though).
Not just programming. e.g. if you create a bunch of files or folders on your computer and they’re sorted by name, then if you do d/m/y they’ll all be out of order. y/m/d will be in order.
But yeah, for human contexts usually day is more important.

Does human context include record-keeping? Quickly sorting and searching (not just with a computer) is very important for that
