as, I believe, the majority of the world does. It is more logical, in western culture writing goes from left to right and you start off writing a date from Day to Month to Year in other words from small to large.
Writing Month to Day to Year means one has to read from middle to left to far right if the aim is to start off from smallest to largest entity which usually is the accepted convention for pretty well everything.
Think of increase - become or make greater in size, amount, or degree. In this sense you could argue to go from seconds to minutes to hours to days to month to Year and so on.
Let the heated arguments begin.
