Hi Matt,
I have never seen any other programs using such a uncommon format so korganizer might have trouble understanding at as well.
I see the format yyyy-mm-dd used quite often. It is for example the native format of date-fields in jbuilder's jdatastore database.
It makes a lot of sense, a string with a date in the format yyyy-mm-dd can get sorted easily without the need for any special date-logic.
Regarding the order of year, month and day you are right. I use it myself but the point is that kaddressbook does not know how to handle the "-" sign. A "/" would be much better. Or a more intelligent import filter. BTW I am still struggling with the conversion of my addresses, especially the birthday date to be kaddressbook compatible afterwards. I think I have to use a combination of awk, sed and regular expression. Since everything is quite new for me any hint is appreciated. cu Stefan
