The first thing you want to know is the day? Then look at the end because it's the smallest thing.

This doesn't make sense anyway. Unless you are from Eastern world, here, in Western side, we read from left to right.

No, my suggestion is consistent with numbering everywhere. You rank things my what YOU want to know. Mine is consistent with EVERY SINGLE OTHER NUMBER THING WE DO. If you want smallest, you look at the LSB. That's how we number in the WESTERN WORLD too.

10002. Tell me the 2, representing 2, is larger than the 1, representing 10000. 23:22:11. Tell me the 11, representing 11 seconds, is larger than the 23, representing hours. The small stuff /always/ goes on the left. It's how numbers frigging work. The most significant thing in dates (most significant meaning BIGGEST like everything else we use) goes on the left. Because that's how numbers work. It doesn't make sense to look at the end for the smallest thing? Then, you, good sir, probably need to go back to primary school and relearn reading numbers.
