Use day-month-year instead of year-month-day #34

For me it is a bit weird to use year-month-day for a Dutch project, where day-month-year is the standard. With the current situation, every import i have to pick a different date type in YNAB to have it recognize the transactions correctly.

2020-07-28 17_43_42

My YNAB is configured like this, which conforms to the regional settings of the Netherlands:

2020-07-28 17_37_11-

It even says (on line 227) that the function outputs European format, but doesn't so! 😉

I think I chose for YYYYMMDD, because many banks (at least the ones I was developing this tool for) use that notation.

I use the online version of YNAB and it doesn't even show an "date format" field while importing. I am also not sure if other date formats work on that version.

I'll try it out and see how/if it works.

Did you have a try to see if the web YNAB support dd/mm/yyyy? I still use YNAB4 so i think that's the difference.

Sorry, I was very busy the past weeks. I just tried it and it seems to be working for me. So I'll merge it. If someone does have an issue with this change, please create a new issue and I will revert this. If it does create other issues, there should probably be some settings page on the site.
