I think Nick is right, the paper economics would mess week order, check:
$ cal -w jan 2016
January 2016
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
1 2 [ 1]
3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [ 2]
10 11 12 13 14 15 16 [ 3]
17 18 19 20 21 22 23 [ 4]
24 25 26 27 28 29 30 [ 5]
31 [ 6]
Jan 31, 2016 does not belong in the first week, it is in week number [6].
Please, if you accept the patch, make it non standard (optional) output.
Following UNIX canonical conservatively is not a bad thing, continuity..
On a computer terminal, we need not rearrange line order, it is counter
intuitive & would mess line oriented processing if it spreads elsewhere.
Note: personal opinion, no standards attached, if you prefer: hazardous.
