Repost from Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/8qt94a/endianess_of_date_and_address_formats_in_europe/

On the reddit comments some user wrote the address format for Russia is wrong on this map, they use big-endian as well.

Also Hungary is the only country in Europe where we use big endianness in names, aka Eastern name order: surname first, firstname second.

The American way just never made sense to me. But maybe it's a language thing. In Danish we would say "the 13th of January" when speaking of a date, not "January 13th". Also just makes sense that it's day of month of year (to me at least).

Bid Endian is the way to go, the mixed is bad though. You want the least sigificant first and go from nonspecific to specific. If you try to do little endian, then you end up with 6 min 20 hour 5th day 8th month, but you had to hold the little numbers in memory she whole way bc each needs more context while a year doesnt.
