 * How can I get it to display DD/MM/YY rather than month first?

 * I don’t think the plugin has an option to change the format of the date being
   entered, you can do it pretty easily with a bit of jQuery though. Here is the
   jQuery to make it happen:
 * `$( ".wpcf7-date" ).datepicker({ dateFormat: "dd/mm/yy" });`
 * Here is the online documentation:

 * Correction, you can alter the date format from within the form field shortcode:
 * [date date-358 **date-format:mm/dd/yy**]

 * Thanks, that was not quite right but I sorted it using this:
 * [date* date-141 date-format:dd.mm.yy]
