What is 1234567 anyway? Why 1 is month? From which clue should I remember that?

From the cultural assimilation of being american for which it makes perfect sense that the month comes first and the year comes last. Apparently. That’s also why the timezone is a weird-ass US timezone (MST, Mountain Standard Time), and why you don’t get tzdata timezone names.

But don’t rely too much on cultural assimilation, because DOW is not the Sunday / 0 you might then expect.
