I generally prefer dates ordered from most to least prominence myself, but any ordering is better than the weird flip flopped month day then year thing we got Stateside.

Interesting that y'all say o'clock before the minutes, tho! Haven't seen that before.

We basically say "hour", but hour and o'clock is the very same word in my language: "óra"

Bit like in Dutch, actually, with the Dutch word being uur. "Het is zes uur" for six o'clock.
