The from big to small order is really not difficult to remember and
handle. But currently I have my head elsewhere.

Numerical dates are short and make calculations more obvious (or am I
alone in having to translate month names to numbers in my mind first,
where I don't have a direct mapping for all months, so need to count
steps in some cases?)

And then we would have the question which format using names, exactly?
