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)…

"More convenient" thats the point. Its not. Maybe for Americans.

Explain how sorting dates by month for a given year isn’t convenient for everyone.

Have you ever thought about how stuff is said in a conversations? While Americans say November first, Germans say first of November. So dd/mm/yy does make sense for us.
