The first one is best for sorting files because it's basically like a Drive>Directory>Subdirectory structure, which makes things easy to seperate and find in a large amount of data.

Conversely, when you're keeping track of what day it is today, what you're doing this week etc, it's much more helpful to have the days first in mind because they're more relevant for THAT than what year it is.

You can just do mm/dd or even just dd in that case, you don’t need the year

You can just do mm/dd

That makes about as much sense as measuring travel distance in smoots.
