Hi Elizabeth, What you are wanting with dates is an option in the Chronology View and Report.
However these aren't part of the free version of Legacy. However in the Standard Free version, you can change the display for all dates in Options > Customise - Date Tab and this choice carries through to reports for all dates. Note this isn't changing the entry order which should match your computer date format. In Legacy 7.5 this appears as another choice on the Dates tab but in Legacy 8 this is set automatically from the computer settings.
