DD/MM/YY and YY/MM/DD are the only acceptable ones IMO. Throwing a DD in between YY and MM is just weird since days move by faster so they should be at one of the ends and since YY moves the slowest it should be on the other end.
The only reason they place month as first is because it is fits how dates are read in English, but that's not a good reason to keep that format.
It's how it is read in English (simplified) aka american english. Brittish english doesn't do this nonsense, the talk in the correct format (first of january etc.).
(I'm sorry if i made some mistakes, english is my second language)
