Took me a while, then realised there is a country that uses whack date formatting. dd/mm/yyyy is the true king. All others shall bow.
yyyy/mm/dd is the one true date
Only for file storage organisation. But I'll agree on that use case only.
IMO it's actually the best for everything. dd/mm/yyyy is ambiguous due to the American date format existing.
What does American date formatting have to do with anything / anyone outside of America?
DMY is the perfect progression. 2nd of the 3rd, 23. Perfect sense logically speaking.

If you see a date somewhere, you can't ever be 100% sure that it's dd/mm/yyyy, as an American may have written it. On the other hand, yyyy-mm-dd is unambiguous.

That's not the case when written with a time next to it, because in that case it's inconsistent and "backwards" compared to the time. The date goes from "smallest" unit (day) to largest unit (year), yet time is written the opposite way, with the largest unit (hour) to the smallest unit (seconds or milliseconds). If you instead do yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss, the entire thing is in a consistent order.
Yeah ymd is better than any alternative by a tenfold
