Why would the year, the least important, need to be first?

And why are the pieces of the pyramid made so the ISO standard is the only one that looks right? ss:mm:hh:DD:MM:YYYY would also order the numbers based on length, but would look terrible if represented like that

You can skip the year and just do 1-26

Sometimes you need the year

Yeah it's funny seeing everyone in here thinking only of the one specific thing they use this for, not recognizing that the most useful order can change depending on the purpose of the data.
