    It would be nice to have a toggle to switch date display format to DMY instead of MDY, or even YMD (which is technically the correct way to display a date, see ISO_8601 page on Wikipedia, I can't add links to posts). It is also a fact that most of the world uses either DMY or YMD (see "Date format by Country" page on Wikipedia).

    In my case it is very confusing to read MDY dates, and I can imagine that that is the case for a lot of people. blobmelt_thumbs

    Yup. I vote for YMD.

    Speaking of voting, @kindlyfire maybe add a poll?

    It's not a bad idea, but it's not the first time it was suggested, so... Don't get your hopes up, it's probably not happening.

    Personally speaking, I'd love it if I could change the date format to YMD though.

    I use DMY, personally, but :blob_plusone:
