The normal way to write dates in my country is DD/MM/YY.
Nerds hate it, of course. Like I've met several people (well, programmers) who'd get red-faced shouty about how illogical and dumb it is.
And sure, it makes sorting harder for computers, but it also happens to be exactly how we say dates. Like a perfectly normal way to say today's date would be "(the) fifteenth in third". So it really depends on which logic you apply.
