Description Christian Rose 2000-10-13 21:21:36 UTC 
ls -l shows, on my glibc 2.1.94 system and 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

Maybe this request for making the date ordering customizable could be
forwarded to the file-utils maintainers?
Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2000-10-16 09:26:23 UTC 
This would almost certainly break some scripts and applications, and probably POSIX compliance; therefore we won't do it as a Red Hat patch.

Please contact the maintainers of the base package (bug-fileutils) about this.

Done.
