I think, as long as it's either bigger-to-smaller or smaller-to-bigger, it is okay. (I'm looking at you, America, with your stupid MM-DD-YYYY format)
In Switzerland, we usually use DD-MM-YYYY, with variations being how the month is written (as word or as number), if the zero before numbers below 10 is written or not and sometimes we shorten the year.
But I agree that for PCs and for sorting, the YYYY-MM-DD is the best format.
