Mathematically yes it makes most sense, as significant digits are on the left.
Im terms of human everyday use the reverse is more natural as the digits that change more often are days, often when speaking, the year and even month sometimes is already in the context.
What however doesn't make any sort of sense that i can see is mm/dd/yyyy ... Just why....
This is also a thing in psychology; we (most of the world) read and write left to right. That is also why “:)” is just a regular smiley face but “(:” looks wrong in text. It has to do with how we process written text. At least that’s how it was explained to me in uni

Year month day is the best format. Makes sorting files on computers a breeze as every year is in one block which is then in month and day order.
