I can change the date format for most dates displayed by my calendar to Irish format, however I can’t find how to change this one.

enter image description here

The dates at the top of each day are shown as 5/17 or Month/Day—as a European, I would like to be able to display them as 17/5, but that doesn’t seem to be possible from my reading of the configuration settings.

Any ideas?

  • I could have sworn I tried that, thank you. – Toby Allen Apr 21 '12 at 10:33

    Hah, also worked for me. I've had yyyy-MM-dd format, which was also causing the dates on the top of the day displayed in reverse format. Quite confusing ;) – Danubian Sailor Jun 4 '12 at 10:35

    This behaviour is clearly a bug. I prefer yyyy-MM-dd format everywhere and have configured that in the settings, but the day headings aren't displaying as that, they are displaying as MM/dd, which is simply wrong. (The '-' vs '/' indicates the order of components for me.) – Daira Hopwood Aug 19 '13 at 22:29

    Ah, it's this bug: productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/calendar/tmO2FFCeeBM – Daira Hopwood Aug 19 '13 at 22:41
