Wrong order of day and month in all dot-family date formats #53

The current list of supported date time format includes two variants using the dot (.) as a delimiter, namely:

  • mm.dd.yyyy
  • yyyy.mm.dd

This seems very peculiar, since the usual order of these date formats is dd.mm.yyyy (Germany, Austria, Belgium, Belarus, Israel, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Romania, Latvia, Estonia, Luxembourg, and many more) and yyyy.dd.mm (Kazakhstan). In fact, according to the English Wikipedia list of date formats by country, no country uses either one of the currently implemented formats.

Therefore, this appears to be a simple mess-up of the day and month order.
