When I bring up the date-picker on GC 3.6 on my Mac OS X High Sierra, I get a calendar widget with Monday as the first day of the week. This is my preference, but I’m not sure if I ever set it up as such, other than selecting UK in my locale options on the Mac. Looking at the Mac Calendar App’s preferences, I see that that is set up as Monday-first. In System Preferences —> Language & Region, I also have “First day of week: Monday”. Gnucash —> Preferences doesn’t appear to have a first-day setting, but it picks up the correct date format from Locale.
