August 9th 2023 would be 09.08.2023 in Germany though ๐
Also changing it to periods doesn't avoid confusion about the order. Also pretty sure we fought a whole war over not being like the Germans, so...
It's quite simple really. The order is "small to big". You start with the smallest unit, in this case the day. Then follows the next largest unit, the month, and finally the year. Basically the same as in the top picture, but in reverse order.
