Posted Date - Field Arrangement - Reflect Locale Format OR Combine Fields

[Lucanos]

In the "Quick Edit" form, as well as the Classic Editor's "Publish" Metabox, show 5 fields for entering the Publish Date for a Page/Post.

[Month (Select)] [Day (Text)], [Year (Text)] @ [Hour (Text)]:[Minutes (Text)]

This is the American format, with Month first, but is not a common format outside of the US.

Even when the Date format is changed in Settings, that selected format is not used to arrange the Date Entry fields noted above.

Suggestion: Integrate a JS Library which allows DateTimes to be entered in various formats, in a single field, and then be processed to produce a value in the format which is required.

Example: I should be able to write a DateTime as "2019-2-28 10:00" and for that to be converted to "2 Feb 2019 10AM".

I am closing this ticket as the order of the month / day are controlled in the translation for the locale.

Here is the EN_ca translation ​https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev/admin/en-ca/default/?filters%5Bterm%5D=%253%24s+at+%254%24s&filters%5Bterm_scope%5D=scope_any&filters%5Bstatus%5D=current_or_waiting_or_fuzzy_or_untranslated&filters%5Buser_login%5D=&filter=Apply+Filters&sort%5Bby%5D=priority&sort%5Bhow%5D=desc

I am not sure the reason for closing this is valid.

When the "Date Format" in the Settings Page is changed to "Y-m-d", the date selector in the Quick Edit for Posts is still as described above.

@Lucanos

Your date Format in settings is for front-end display not admin
The Admin date order is controlled via the translation for your language

Have you tried setting your language?
