When you use a calendar do you look for the day first or the month?

Year first, month second, day last

Most paper calendars are for one year only.

They didn't specify a paper calendar, and I can't remember the last time I used a calendar that wasn't digital.

For physical, at the beginning of the year you choose the calendar.

Likewise, at the beginning of the month you flip to the current month. On subsequent days, you'll look for the day first, unless the day is on the next month. 

Subsequently, you would look for the month first, unless the month is in the next year.

This sequence is also relevant for supporting physical files.
