I want to print a date on iOS 5.0.1 ignoring the locale.
(this is for logging - not for showing strings to users)

I assume that NSDate has no sufficient parameters to control the output.
So I tried to use NSDateFormatter.

The desired output is something like:
NSString *template = @"HH:mm:ss EEE dd. MMM yyyy zzz";

NSString *dateFormat = [ NSDateFormatter dateFormatFromTemplate: template 
options: 0 locale: nil ];
NSDateFormatter *dateFormatter = [ [ NSDateFormatter alloc ] init ];
[ dateFormatter setDateFormat: dateFormat ];
NSString *dateString = [ dateFormatter stringFromDate: someDate ];
[ dateFormatter release ];

1. problem:
The date gets output as year, month, day which is NOT what I specified.

2. problem:
The output is: date time, NOT time date as requested.

What am I doing wrong?

Kind regards,

Gerriet.
