Date format in Sharepoint sites

Hi all,

Yes another question about date formats.  In our M365 tenant, all dates on our Sharepoint sites show in US format.

Under Site Settings/Regional Settings I have the Locale set to English (Australia) but Sharepoint seems to ignore this.

Is there actually a way to chagne the date format to DD/MM/YYYY or at least YYYY/MM/DD?

 

thanks

    For my UK sites I've always found English (United Kingdom) puts dates into dd/mm/yyyy format and for the Canadian sites English (Canada) always puts dates into mm/dd/yyyy and the format sticks with no problem.
