ls -l shows, with LC_ALL=sv_SE, a file entry this way: -rw-r--r-- 1 menthos menthos 5496 okt 13 22:00 index.html This is wrong with the Swedish date convention, that is, day number should always be placed before month. So the example above should really be -rw-r--r-- 1 menthos menthos 5496 13 okt 22:00 index.html if it should be correct according to Swedish standard. I know it's not just Swedish that is affected by this, it is also lots of other non-english languages, where day number is always ordered before month. Maybe ls could be patched to allow the translator(localizer) to decide the ordering of the parts of the date (probably with strftime)?
