For some users the datepicker shows a calendar which starts with Sunday, instead of monday, this cause huge problems cause they are sending in orders to a wrong date…
Is there a way to configure this ?
I’ve never noticed this, but I suspect it’s probably a function of individual users device settings.
Are all of your users in the same timezone, and would they all be using the same language/regional settings?
Regardless, I’m curious how this could result in incorrect dates being submitted. Sunday 12th November is always Sunday 12th November, no matter where in the world you are.

The dates are fine, the human is the factor of error… they see a calendar and automatically choose the second column for Tuesday, cause that what they used to… but on this datepicker the Tuesday is Column 3 cause Sunday is one…
Everyone is in the same timezone… the location settings should be the same as well. But thats something which I should be able to control I think, but I dont see any option for this.
Like @Darren_Murphy said, that all depends on each individual user’s device. Glide adapts to different regions to show numbers, dates, date pickers, and various other things appropriately for the user’s region.
My guess is that you have some users that have there device OS or Browser region set to US English for example instead of the correct region for their location, so everything is going to display in a way that’s normal for users in the USA.
Which country are your users located?
How do you normally view dates? (DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY)
Do you typically view times in 12 hour or 24 hour format?
Do you use , or . as a decimal indicator in numbers?
Do you use , or . as a thousands separator in numbers?
These are all things that Glide figures out based on the region that is set on a user’s device. In addition to that, Glide also automatically translates certain elements in the app, so everything displays in the correct language based on the user’s language settings. Under normal circumstances, it adapts to display everything correctly for each individual user based on their device settings.

Hola,
Maybe it’s a cultural custom according the country.
According to ISO 8601 standard, a week begins on Monday and ends on Sunday, although there are countries that consider Sunday to be the 1st day of the week and Saturday the last day. In my country, since I was a child at school, we learned that a week begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday.

I would be in favor of banning once and for all norms that are totally illogical by any objective standard. Examples of these include bizarre ways of measuring dates, temperature and weight, or measuring distance based on body parts. I disagree that it’s all subjective. Some standards are objectively superior to others.
(And I’m so rigid 
)

All the users are in the same country same timezone, possibly same local settings… but there might e differences… i will try to figure it out…
For sure some people are using browser and not application, that makes the whole thing very complciated…
Yeah, it can get complicated. It’s very convenient that Glide figures this stuff out automatically, and in most cases it’s probably correct, but there are also certain cases where it would be beneficial to be able to manually set a master region code for the app so it’s consistent regardless of the device’s regional settings. For example someone could create an app for French speaking users that live all over the world. Wouldn’t make sense to have a French app for French speakers in India that is translating the interface to Hindi and using India’s numbering system when it should be displaying the interface in French with the French numbering system.
Wouldn’t it be nice if Glide offered a setting in the Calendar Collection for “WORK DAYS” and “WORK HOURS”.
The calendar should be M-F by default and the DAY view should be 9-5 or whatever you set. Having a 12am to 11:59pm day view doesn’t make sense.
Of course…I may not know where this feature is in the Calendar collection or it could be a CSS setting!

I think it’s very hard to do that with CSS. Should be a choice for the builder to choose, I guess.
Agree - I think Glide needs to start offering best-in-class components (instead of more components) starting with a GREAT calendar and date reporting feature set.
