This diagram is dumb, if we read it from the top as you normally do with text, without context you could easily end up writing dates like this:

59:59:23 - 31-12-2025

instead of like this (which I agree is the proper format):

2025-12-31 - 23:59:59

EDIT: Isnt America's diagram wrong, if we only look at the date portion (and ignore the AM/PM idiocy), don't they tend to write

Month Day Year - 12/31/2025

not

Year Day Month - 2025/31/12

People don't typically put the smallest part at the bottom of the pyramid, since pyramids have the biggest part at the bottom.

It's pretty typical to, when discussing things with ranked importance of that build in one another, to arrange them like a pyramid to convey the ordered nature.
