Why did you close it? Everyone seems to be in furious agreement that ISO should be added, just not where in the menu.

The developers are in the US, but not the users.

The Geany developers are mostly not in the US, so they were being nice (or pragmatic) by adding MDY order. You will see from the Wikipedia article I linked that DMY is the most universally used (and Canada is pretty much the only place to use all three to confuse yourselves 😁).

This expression of developer individuality is hurting Linux.

Well thats what you get when a project is only contributed to by volunteers, you get what they contribute, which is likely what they personally need or want. There is no BDFL or technical board controlling Geany, its all by (mostly) civilised discussion on github and then what "somebody" actually includes in a PR.

So the "somebody" who makes the PR will likely get to set the menu position of the ISO format option.
