It's by smallest integer to largest, what's weird about that?

12 months a year, up to 31 days a month and X number of years. It makes the most sense

Months are dumb. Inconsistent lengths, the names are out of sync (OCTober isn't month 8), pretend to be based on lunar cycles but not, etc.

Give us Year/Day date formats. Extra new year holiday on leap years.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Americans write the date the way we would say it. August 9th 2023.

Generally speaking you're usually from 0 to 720 hours in a month: how many time in a year you have to remind people what month they are into vs. the single day?

Guy A: "Hey, what day is it?"

Guy B: "It's Sunday, the 13th."

Guy A: "Of...?" (gesturing to keep going)

Guy B: "Ah, right, we're just 390 hours into August. You may have missed that."

(1-12)/(1-31)/(XXXX)

I don't think it's an entirely ridiculous format.
