> The fact that the dialog says "column type" suggests that it is a bug.
No. The dialog helps Calc to recognize the type of data in CSV, not format the
sheet. So the dialog talks about type of *CSV* column (the data), not Calc
column (the formatting).
Compare e.g. the other "column format" value, which is Date (DMY). Marking a
column that way absolutely doesn't mean that the column will be formatted to
show day, month and year in that order. It only means that the original data
format should be expected like that. Then Calc can recognize the dates, and
after that, it will represent them as current locale requires (which may be
e.g. YMD or MDY). And if the column marked as DMY will happen to have a plain
number, it will not be displayed as corresponding serial date.
I suppose that it would be harmful to implement such a proposal, since it would
try to mix (and thus dilute, make less clear) the distinction between import
data format and resulting sheet formatting.
