Why would that be best? Who needs to read the year first.
DD/MM/YYYY is best.
YYYYMMDD is:
A.) in logical descending order (similar to decimal numbers)
B.) alphanumerically sortable (comes out in date order when sorted alphanumerically) when represented in a text string. (assuming you use leading zeros).
C.) easily converted to an integer.
Year, then month, then day, FTW..
