The pattern of relevance for the order of things is consistently throughout the language "most used first" (or "least used last") so long as it is consistent with the basic design. The dmy date format, along with the hms time one seems to follow from that. Personally I like Julian dates to 3 sig places each side the decimal, but that never seems to get far.
