"Nth" Date Format for Airdate
Posted: 14 Sep 2018, 03:53
It doesn't seem like this forum is all that active lately, but it's worth a try anyway. Although actual documentation for all of the more advanced methods seems to be thin on the ground, I've managed to discover through a mixture of experimentation and forum searching most of what I want.
I've learnt that within the .format method, MMM can be specified for D, MMMM for Dec, MMMMM for December and so on (or something similar anyway). This has allowed me to get my airdate to display as (26 Dec 2003), which looks miles better than the default YYYY.MM.dd format and which I'm very happy with. However, what would make that airdate format absolutely perfect for me is the ability to specify the date in an "nth" format: 16th June 1995, 27th May 1997, 2nd December 2014, etc.
Does anyone know if this is already built into the program and I've just missed it? If not, is there any chance it could be implemented any time soon? It doesn't seem like it would take much work with similar functionality already built into the month, and I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
