Date bar : offer more sensitive date format presets #632

General Information

Description

Hi there ! Currently, the offered format presets are several variations of the US date format (i.e. month day year) which, according to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country), is only used in the USA, Kenya and Ghana. The rest of the world uses mainly the day month year format, with year month day (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) being second.

Hence, it would cater to more people worldwide to offer those formats (only) as presets :

  1. year month day (I admit I'm partial to it as it make mathematically more sense :) )
  2. day month year
  3. month day year

And unless there's a huge demand for another date format, I'd leave the presets to that, as there's still the available option for a custom date format.

I haven't given to much thought regarding the time format. I guess that YMD and DMY users would prefer a 24h format, while MDY would prefer a 12h but I might be wrong.

Hey it's fully configurable to user needs and don't see a need to make changes here.

Well… I for one spent much more time than I'm willing to admit to read the strftime documentation in order to reproduce the ISO 8601 format. I then gave up and came here to create this feature request, in the hope that it helps some other poor chaps like me.
