Hi,
It would be nice if one could change the date format.
I'm brazilian, so i prefer to see 15/05/2010 than 05/15/2010, that is, dd/mm/yyyy than mm/dd/yyyy.
Keep up with the good work!

   Hi Rafael...

   yes, we are being typically North American's and forcing our date standards on to you and many others!

   ;)

   Totally on our radar and will be fixed once we tackle internationalization of Nirvana (including language translations).

   thanks!

   I second Rafael's emotion.

   Brits might drive on the 'wrong' side of the road (although driving on the left was Napoleon's idea and I can't believe the Americans followed the French on that one!) but at least our date formats are round the right way.

   DD/MM/YYYY please!

   Neil

   We need one more date option in addition to those mentioned above. In Canada we use MM/DD/YYYY and some use DD/MM/YYYY (being right next door to the U.S. causes great confusion). But we also use what I understand to be a metric option (and I don't think this is limited in any way to Canada), and that is YYYY/MM/DD. This allows you to sort from longest to shortest time period and can never be confused as to which number is Month and which is Day.

   I really think you need all 3 options.
