Change date format in histories

 The date formatting for rekordbox histories is backwards. is there a way of formatting it to a more sensible sequence?

As in "day , month and year?"

 

Cheers

DD-MM-YY or MM-DD-YY are archaic sorting formats; it should always go largest-to-smallest, the same way time does.

YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

The yyyy-mm-dd format that RB uses actually makes perfect sense and makes it easier for systems to sort the playlists in order.

No - hours are larger than minutes are larger than seconds. What part of that was derived from an acid trip?

well there's a reason we have a second hand on a clock and not a year hand for starters

And if someone asks you the time, do you give it to them in seconds / minutes / hours?

True, but an hour is quite different than a year. (obviously).

That being said, you are an official representative of Pioneer yes?

You represent Pioneer as a brand?

Do you think entering into pissing contest with a Pioneer customer endears the brand to me, or repels me? 

My question was simple: "Can I change the formatting of the date" in regards to my History files in Rekordbox.

All I required was a polite "Yes" or "No".

I am from Australia our formatting is DD/MM/YYYY, to me it makes sense. if I could format my histories to reflect this then great! If not, then no big deal.

Simple.

I think I may have dealt with you before, I recognise your smug condescension. Now if you're not an employee of Pioneer, then fair enough, you have nothing to lose.

You can say what you want I guess, but regardless, you are presenting as a representative of Pioneer.

And I personally find your attitude very negative to the Pioneer brand. 

 

EDIT: I see from your reply that the "Cunt factor" is part of the Pioneer culture.

Nope, I just looked through your history and you haven't had the luxury of dealing with me in all my awesomeness.

Since you want a simple answer, here it is:
