Implement option to use international date/time standard

As of now this software uses a date format (Month-Day-Year) that is only used in USA and a couple of other countries. While the rest of the world uses an international standard (Day-Month-Year). Most countries also uses a 24h clock and not 12h am/pm.

So could we please have the option to chose what format we want to use, if its YMD, DMY or MDY and also an option to use 24h instead of the 12h clock.

@manuelernestog thanks for the app! I'd also love to see the feature implemented. Can i look into it this week or are you already working on it?

This is interesting, because I just came here to request the opposite feature- I was going to ask for USA display option for us backwards Americans... My app seems to be defaulted to International DD/MM/YYYY format! Are you referring to 1 February instead of February 1? Seems like we might need to get the format standardized in these options as well, because I'm looking for MM/DD/YYYY to match my February 1, 2024 date style.

We refer to two different parts of the software, so there is nothing that differ. My main issue was about the overview were you have the following structure.

Monday
Month Day Year

Date format is a more complex topic than you would think so it has nothing to do with backwards Americans. Just look at the following https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country and you probably understand.

What we need is to allow users to customize Date and Time format to their own needs and preferences.
