Interesting to call this the "european date format", given that prior to ISO 8601 I'm pretty sure this date order was almost entirely used in East Asia and not Europe. To me day-month-year will always be the European date order.

Interestingly, not only with dates, but they order things from the “biggest” to the “smallest”
Like Year-month-day for dates.
Family name - personal names for names.
And for address, they start with country, city, street name, then house number. Opposite of what is more common in western countries. I actually find it more useful as very often I remember which street my friends live in but not the house number, and I can type it in and expect google maps to give me the result based on my search history. Not so useful with house numbers if you can’t remember them.
