Day-Month-Year is the standard everywhere in the world apart from the US. Big and little endian dates are the only way that makes sense I think. Doing it the US way where day is inexplicably between year and month just feels corrupted to my mind.

> Day-Month-Year is the standard everywhere in the world apart from the US. IIRC, Japan uses Year-Month-Day, which is the other order which makes sense.

Not standard in China, Japan, Hungary, Mongolia, South Korea, Taiwan, and of course ISO 8601.

  Using / as the delimiter with day/month/year is also very common. Here in Brazil, dd/mm/yyyy (or sometimes dd/mm/yy, which used to be more common before year 2000) is the standard.
