If the year isn’t important than why are you saying it at all

Also it’s not yyyy/mm/dd for computer sake, it’s most convenient for humans because it has the most variations. If you’re searching through 100 years of records then finding the year first is most convenient because you’ve ruled out 99%. For computers it doesn’t really matter because they can go through all the data much quicker than we can
