Can you point me to the page where this is happening? Google Forms doesn’t do anything specific on formatting dates.
It is a bit difficult as I am experimenting locally. The dates are formatted correctly in my Google Drive when I view the responses in the spreadsheet. It is just the form on my WordPress site that shows the field as Month Day Year instead of Day Month Year. I could point you to a screenshot of it, if you could tell me how I can do this here.
Thanks.
Are you displaying a spreadsheet or a form?
A screen shot would be helpful – you can email it to me at mpwalsh8 at gmail dot com.
Can you try forcing the locale for your Google Form to en-gb? Here is a post I did about setting a form to French – this might resolve the date ordering issue if you us the UK locale.
Hello Mike,
Unfortunately this doesn’t work for the date formats. However, after a lot of experimenting I may have found a CSS solution. I went for the CSS n-th child selector which allowed me to float the day field to the left. It seems to work – with some slight adjustments for alignment at the top and spacing on the right. I hope it works for all the browsers and mobile devices. I’ll email you a screenshot of it. For now I’ll mark it as resolved if that’s OK.
