minus-square@Osan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•23 days agoRTL invert characters are just for rendering purposes it doesn’t help with sorting also in older systems sometimes it was not supported.
minus-squareZiglin (it/they)linkfedilinkEnglish0•23 days agoBut if you type it as “[RTL invert]yyyy/mm/dd” it is automatically sorted correctly in ltr parsing systems but still displayed correctly (assuming it is supported which it seems to be on most devices nowadays).
minus-square@Osan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•23 days agoYou want it displayed as “yyyy/mm/dd” so it’s actually “[RTL]dd/mm/yyyy”
