Do you know where I can get a list of the local year-month-day orders used in each country? For example, the U.S. uses month-day-year order.
Local date format information is part of the locale data collection on <ftp://dkuug.dk/i18n/locales/> specified in POSIX locale format. More and more users and countries are moving towards the international standard date notation YYYY-MM-DD described on http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html so you might consider using just this one for simplicity and prevention of confusion.
