Biggest to smallest fails though for years which are smaller than the months, and for months which are smaller than the days.

e.g. Dec 1st 2003, would be written 12/03/01 biggest to smallest

I don't think you've thought this through, and frankly I question your mother's sexual decency.

Four digit years are required, as are dashes. 2012-03-01

Do you even ISO, bro?

Biggest is referring to length of time, not number. Years are bigger than months are bigger than days, temporally.

I mean biggest to smallest in units of time (year/month/day)
