Why do some people insist on doing big-endian dates? Little-endian (YYYY-MM-DD) is trivially alphanumerically sortable. Also, it’s part of the goddamn ISO standard for standardized date format.

You've got your endians mixed up. Big-endian means the most significant value comes first. ISO8601 is big-endian.
