You used the +dateFormatFromTemplate: method, which is specifically designed and documented to reorder the date components in the current locale. If you don't want this behavior, don't ask for it; use -initWithDateFormat:allowsNaturalLanguage: instead. You should also call -setLocale: to make sure you get the same symbols and values for all fields. You probably want [NSLocale systemLocale]. --Kyle Sluder_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
