>>It depends entirely on what you were looking at. In the programs we do here, I normally use mm/dd/yyyy because it seems to be creeping into the culture more (of course, I make it clear - ie - Date (mm/dd/yyyy):, but governments, official bodies etc still use dd/mm/yyyy. Officially, Canada is dd/mm/yyyy.

It also makes more sense for sorting information. Also, I believe that most things should be referred to in terms from largest container to smallest. When you go to a calendar, do you make sure the year is correct before checking the month and then the day, or do you do it the other way around?
