Re: UK date format in Dired

| Is it possible to get Dired to show dates in UK format.

Should be possible, if you can talk ls into doing so.  Possibly just
setting the appropriate locale variable (LC_TIME) in the environment
will do the trick.

To use another ls than the first one in PATH, set the variable
insert-directory-program to its pathname.  And set the variable
dired-listing-switches to the command line switches you need (as a
single string; will be converted to a list by the shell).

Oh, if you're on windows this won't help, and neither can I.
