1) Well, I remember tat Valentina takes from Sys Settings
    the date format.
    date/time separators...

And really, I think Valentina do not take info from International panel. You
can add this request into Mantis.


2) I do not understand then why Beatrix says that
>> O Ö P IS the correct order.

    Bart, can you confirm please correct order ?


3) Jon, yes I also sometimes use OS X to see order of chars or something
like this which gives ICU.

We have give In Valentina access to ALL ICU parameters. It should work...
