I'm not entirely sure, either. Instinctually, DD-MM-YYYY seems just as
funky to me as I'm sure MM-DD-YYYY does to you.
Actually, putting the month first makes slightly more sense for simple
sorting and indexing, although not as much as putting the year first.
Probably we should all start using ISO-8601 YYYY-MM-DD format since
otherwise half the dates in the year are ambiguous. Call it a friendly
compromise.
