MM.DD.YYYY is illegal. It's random. Just sort by how big the time unit is and get DD.MM.YYYY

If you want it to be analogous to other numbers, YYYY-MM-DD makes more sense - from largest unit to smallest. We don't say e.g. 1024 metres as "24 metres and 1 kilometre" either.

Random would be (e.g.) DY-MYYD-MY

That doesn't sound random to me.

fixed, check again
