Yes, it should be using the order that's defined in the locale, and according to the docs for currentLocale, it should be using *my custom settings as defined in System Prefs*: "The logical locale for the current user. The locale is formed from the settings for the current user’s chosen system locale overlaid with any custom settings the user has specified." Regardless of whether or not it can be changed programmatically, it's still a bug that it doesn't default to the user's display format. I'm writing up a bug. -- Steve Mills Drummer, Mac geek _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
