--- Comment #166 from Harrison Smith <harri...@htsmi.net> ---
I've been annoyed by this issue as well, but I have found a workaround for the
time being if you use English. It involves creating the pseudo-locale en_SE
which uses the proper ISO 8601 format but still has months and weekdays in
English.

Do the following:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_DK /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_SE
echo 'en_SE.UTF-8 UTF-8' | sudo tee -a /etc/locale.gen
sudo locale-gen

Then you may have to re-login before setting your time format in System
Settings to "Sweden - English (en_SE)".

This fixed it for me in Dolphin and other programs, however applications that
use the long date format still don't use ISO 8601.

Ideally we need something better than the archaic pre-defined UNIX locales, and
this lack of flexibility looks bad compared to Windows and Mac desktops.
However I don't really know whose role it is to fix that.
