Allow ISO (2023-05-18) formatting for dates in all fields

My entire firm runs off ISO date stamps. It would be great if we could bring it over to SmartSuite as well. Makes it very easy to sort exported data alpha-numerically while still preserving that data's chronology (sort A-Z and still keep the dates in order when everything happened since the format runs 4 digit year, 2 digit month, 2 digit day).
This also helps a lot for LEFT() functions - because you can be certain the data stamp is ALWAYS 10 characters long. Whether it's January 1 or December 31, the month and day fields don't change with ISO.

Yeah, this seems pretty basic. Are having a lot of problems with dates that could be very simply solved by using regular ISO standard formatting.

The same applies to all date related functions!

The US is about the only country that continues to use MMDDYYYY.
I interact and support clients all over the world - it would be a huge benefit to be able to - DELINK - date/time formats from timezone / region settings and offer International date format + option of 12h / 24h time

SD McK: Agreed on the time issue as well.
