Hi Mark,
AFAIK North America is the only place in the world to use the month-day-year 
format, (can anybody correct that??) which is illogical, like 
feet-inches-yards for distance or minute-second-day for shorter times.
Most places I have visited in the world use day-month-year, which has a 
logic like inches-feet-miles.
Japan, and probably other countries in this region(???) use year-month-day, 
which is the most logical IMHO, and the one I use for photograph files FWIW. 
It is like miles-feet-inches and is compatible with hours-minutes-seconds. 
Sensible.
Frank
