ISO date format and ordering by date?

Corrado Topi
Dear all,

We would like to have dates to appear in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) in all date fields (date, date added, date modified), but at the moment it seems to take the date from the OS locale (or the Firefox locale?). We noticed that that influences also the ordering at times .... we are finding it a bit frustrating ....

Any ways that can be solved? Even if you put the OS locale to the ISO format (when you can), Zotero seems to be using the "old locale" ....

Best,

    sorry, not possible, but if date ordering is affected by the display of the format that would be a bug.
    Dates are stored in the database as ISO and should sort accordingly. Are you sure about that? Do you have an example?
