YMD and DMY i can understand; MDY is just insane, who came up with that.

MDY makes some sense when you pronounce it September 24th, 2026, but yes, it's very confusing for everyone else.

I guess the confusing part is mostly because of an international audience. If everyone used MDY it would feel less weird. Still sorts completely wrong.
