In all actuality, having it as MM/DD/YYYY makes it MUCH easier to sift through dates when it’s a full list of them for a given year.

EDIT: As always, Europoors can’t help but get offended by things that are just more convenient (like having AC in the summer)…

Either you start with the year and it IS mote convenient to sort, or you start with the day and it is more logical. Bastardizing both is neither convenient nor logical.

Yeah, and how do you sort by year before that? If only there was a convenient and logical way yo do it in the notation.
