Actually I think a de facto convention I've seen often is that mm/dd/yyyy uses slashes, dd.mm.yyyy uses dots, and yyyy-mm-dd uses hyphens; I've rarely seen yyyy mm dd use anything other than hyphens. (Plus, as pointed out, ISO 8601 says to use yyyy-mm-dd with hyphens.1) So it might be a good idea to follow that /.- convention here too.
I don't know if ISO should be the first available option, but it should definitely be an option (probably replacing yyyy/mm/dd). Personally I think what makes the most sense is to have your system/locale's default as the first option. (And if it's not possible to do it based on locale, I'd consider using the "international" and unambiguous format yyyy-mm-dd as the first option).
Then again, ISO 8601 also says to use that ugly T for separating date and time, like 2023-12-31T23:59, but nobody seems to follow that and instead prefer to use a space unless aiming for strict ISO compliance. ↩
