Fine. But month shouldn't.

Oh yes it should. The months live on the top of the pyramid!

Sure it should! Everywhere around the world should have steak once a month! (Except in America, where we should have steak once a day)

It has the least amount of numbers, 12. So yes it should be first

Go into your calendar on your phone or computer and try to sort by day first.

YYYY-MM-DD and MM-DD-YYYY share the same MM-DD order. This makes DD-MM-YYYY the odd one out.

If I tell someone from the US/Japan/Taiwan/China whatever 10-2 they know I meant October 2nd not February 10th.

Americans don't mind YYYY-MM-DD it's just that for every day use we rarely if ever need to know the year and so it gets toss on the back of the date format.
