Fascinating as the left/right driving stuff is ....
The most logical, to me, way of expressing the date is year / month / date, as it gradually focuses your attention from the wider concept to the narrower one.
If asked "How long until lunch?" we don't respond "30 minutes and 1 hour" we respond "1 hour and 30 minutes", going from the wider focus to the narrower one.
Y/M/D also allows a sort by date to work.
