Hot take: going from biggest to smallest unit is best

For sorting files by date (yyyy/mm/dd), sure, but for keeping track of what date it is today, dd/mm/yyyy is the only right way.

Not really, no. Some things are best for one thing, others are best for another, and Fahrenheit is ridiculous under all circumstances.
