How to set the date format in the file browser to ISO standard?

The file browser in Matlab 2022b uses a strange date format on my Linux machine.

It even uses 2 digits for the year.

TIME_STYLE=iso is set in /etc/locale.conf

The date is printet properly in iso date format when using ls on the bash:

fantastic question, although i don't use the file browser so i can only offer emotional support to any and all requests for use of ISO datetime.

Hi,

I understand you want to change the format of date in the MATLAB file browser to ISO standards.

The date format used by the MATLAB file browser in Linux is determined by your system's locale settings. It appears that your MATLAB installation is using a different date format compared to the ISO format you mentioned.

You can change MATLAB's locale settings to match the ISO date format. To do this, open MATLAB and go to:

Home tab -> Preferences -> MATLAB -> Language and Region.

Here, you can change the Language setting to a locale that uses ISO date format, such as "en_US.UTF-8" for American English with UTF-8 encoding.

You may need to restart MATLAB for the changes to take effect.
