       yes, I agreed with you -
           except don't blame the U.S. for that silly ISO  ;-)

        The ISO is not U.S.;
           the U.S. uses the confusing month-day-year rather than the
European day-month-year;
              as an historian-genealogist, I've been pushing the European
method.

        This ISO is as strange as changing the time twice/year or using AM
or PM following 12: ...
            see

an
explanation of this idea;

 Thanks for your support!

 Hi folks,

A LibO spreadsheet, made in LibO, Dutch version (no Excel or OOo past).

     - In LibO 3.5.5, I used to give in dates as 20-7 and they were
shown
as 20 Jul 12.
     - In LibO 3.6.0.2, if I enter 20-7, 20-7 is shown in the cell.

If I enter 20-7-12, the date is inverted into 12 Jul 2020.
So instead of entering 20-7, I now need to enter 12-7-20 to get the
desired notation 20 Jul 12.

Is this a new feature, or a bug?


 This is just another anti-feature that has been added to Calc against
all reason simply because too many inexperienced users who never really
used any spreadsheets insisted loudly enough.
I will upgrade my LibreOffice 3.5 to ApacheOpenOffice 3.4.1.


  I resent the US way of ISO 8601. We Dutch and other Europeans use the

more logical sequence of day-month-year instead of the illogical
year-month-day.(most important first, least important last: very often
the
year can be missed).

Exactly what is strange with ISO 8601?
