The only reason they place month as first is because it is fits how dates are read in English, but that's not a good reason to keep that format.

You only think it fits with how it's read in English because that's how you grew up saying it so it sounds natural to you. Your experience is not universal, and is in fact, a minority.

It's how it is read in English (simplified) aka american english. Brittish english doesn't do this nonsense, the talk in the correct format (first of january etc.).

(I'm sorry if i made some mistakes, english is my second language)
