Oh I found it here, in the FormHelper API documentation! There is dateWidget template in 'templates' which one can use to change the default sequence of date fields. For example I had to do like this:

echo $this->Form->input('dob',['label'=>'Date of Birth', 'templates' => ['dateWidget' => '{{day}}{{month}}{{year}}']]);
