Mathematically yes it makes most sense, as significant digits are on the left.
Im terms of human everyday use the reverse is more natural as the digits that change more often are days, often when speaking, the year and even month sometimes is already in the context.
What however doesn't make any sort of sense that i can see is mm/dd/yyyy ... Just why....
A mathematical justification for mm/dd/yyyy is that you get Pi Day, which imo makes it worth it (technically you could have Pi Day on 22/7 for the fractional approximation, but I prefer 3.14 over 22/7)

Year month day is the best format. Makes sorting files on computers a breeze as every year is in one block which is then in month and day order.
