What China (and Japan) uses is YYYY年MM月DD日, which IMO is the superior date format since it's self-explanatory - the sections are spelled out right there!

For me, the only format that doesn't make sense is the MM/DD/YYYY, together with its rarely seen worse sibling, MM/DD/YY (07/27/26).

You can sort dates and they are in order with this format.
