We swedes use standardized ISO 8601 dates such as YYYY-MM-DD as dictated by our excellent government and you find it in use in our social security number, government correspondence and mostly everywhere.
Even more fun when that includes date or time ranges; I've literally had to paste Swedish-style dates into Claude to help me parse what the intended reading is.

Same here in germany! ...Which is the reason why everyone ignores it in favour of the traditional format.
I love democracy, and also mountain-shaped temporal unit ordering ^ It's 28.05.2025 13:15.
Text-ordering by date is a nightmare because everything is first grouped by day-of-month, then month, then year! :)
