It's not so much US Army (especially historically) as ISO and the international standard for recording dates.
My computer allows me to do that no matter what my Locale is, although not all of my applications pay attention. It is easier to set in some applications, not in others. Perhaps another way to handle this as a feature is to ask that global date settings be in the Tools | Options. Of course, where a specific format (e.g., "yyyy-mm-dd") has been set on a field or table cell, it should be honored as set. But it would be nice to have a way to specify defaults, even if that the settings from the host computer be used. - Dennis Next Up: The unbelievable difficulty of handling date-time values across time zones and across local-time changes. -----Original Message----- From: Eustace [mailto:emf...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 01, 2011 01:55 To: users@openoffice.org Subject: [users] Locale Setting suggestion I wish in Options > Language Settings > Locale Setting > there was the selection English (US Army) that would use yyyy-mm-dd as date format.
