Going day to day, dd/mm/yyyy works, but for archival purposes and looking up stuff in the past, mm/dd/yyyy works better, imo. Like when you need to go through a physical file cabinet, or an electronic database.
Or you're the type of person who's zoned out all the time and don't even know what month it is until you look at a clock or calendar.
for archival purposes yyyymmdd is best. that way you can just sort lexicographically and it'll also be sorted chronologically
I just dont see why the hell you would switch? dd/mm works fibe in all situations and has some advantages sometimes, while mm/dd is fine sometimes, but generally worse or equal.
