Day/Month/Year is retarded, because it puts the variable with the highest frequency of change in front, fucking up any automated attempts to put dates in order when you're working with plain text. It should be Year/Month/Day. Month/Day/Year is okay, too, if you don't mind dealing with one year at a time. Day/Month/Year goes totally against our numerical system, which places the highest value to the left, and reads from left to right..
