In week and month views, the week starts on a Sunday. There is no clear way to make the week start on a Monday. I seem to remember being able to change this in a previous version (a few months ago). However, I cannot find it in the settings any more. Up-to-date Arch Linux korganizer 15.12.1 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Look at week and month views. Actual Results: Week starts on a Sunday. Expected Results: There should be a setting to allow the week to start on a Monday. Please let me know if there is a workaround in the meantime, as this is quite disconcerting.
This is driving me crazy! I missed an appointment the other day, because I looked at the first column in week view, and presumed that it was Monday, not Sunday! In the current Korganizer (5.1.1), when I select "Settings" > "Configure Date & Time…", it takes me to a pretty limited configuration page, which is identical to "System Settings" > "Regional Setttings". I had a look at an old Korganizer install (4.14.10) that I had in a Virtual environment. When I select "Settings" > "Configure Date & Time…", it takes me to a much more configurable page named "Country/Region & Language". Here, in the "Calendar" tab, I could select what day the week started on. Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/w0GbZlP.png I couldn't find how to access to this page in either install, through System Settings. Is there another way to access this in the current Plasma?
Is there some
+1: cannot find any way to convince korganizer to start the week on Monday. This has a quite big impact on usability and can be really confusing for many users. It would be very nice to have this functionality back!
@Sam, one workaround I found is to set your time format to `en_GB.UTF-8` (via Plasma's System Settings > Personalisation > Regional Settings > Formats > Detailed Settings > Time). This makes the week start on a Monday. Unfortunately, you are then forced to use the full en_GB time formats. For examples (as opposed to my preferred en_AU), time is 24 hours, instead of 12 hours, which exacerbates other korganizer bugs [1] (also filed 4 months ago, with no answer). Ideally, we'd be able to manually modify all elements of the time format ourselves, but I cannot find a way to do that. More information here [2].

@sparhawk: thanks for the rapid answer! Unfortunately I already tried that and it doesn't work for me: I have already en_GB for both Region and Time but still in korganizer the week starts on Sunday... pretty weird. Thanks anyway! Let's hope this regression will get fixed sooner rather than later.
Huh, very strange. I wonder if those locale files are distro specific. Seems unlikely, but possible. FWIW I wouldn't hold my breath for a quick fix. I think my hit-rate is something like 5% for even getting a dev to respond here, let alone fix it!
Same here on Kubuntu 16.04
I just found this today. Not only is it incorrect to force Australians to "start" their week on a Sunday, it's fairly evenly split across the whole world. https://i.imgur.com/fRzalMT.png
I think this should be an option in the widget, rather than having to mess with locale settings so that the clock widget picks it up. Having it a feature of the widget also does not require that the user logout and back in again to enforce changes.
@Michael D, ideally the more options the better! As above, seeing as I can't figure out where Plasma picks up its locales from, changing locales messes up a whole bunch of other things too… so ideally I'd love to be able to modify both.
Can also confirm Kubuntu 16.04.

+1 Still no solution ? Neon Plasma 5.11.1 kdeframeworks 5.39.0 Qt 5.9.
Still a problem in 5.5.3 - I wish to start the week on Sunday but can't and I've no wish to change my regional settings to a foreign country to acheive this (even if I knew how).
I use a workaround but maybe this is not a bug, just a feature. The different countries officially begin the week by a different day, Sunday in north America, Monday in Europa ... if I well remember what I readied. So just set the LOCALE for the format you need. In general "French Canadian" Locales, I have french ones for Hours and Orders. And it is better now. All this cam be setuped in KDE : System settings > regionals parameters > Formats (free translation). Once I changed more specificals Locales, and OpenOffice had accents problems. A bit tricky but seems a feature a bit underdocumented. Hope it will help
I think the fact that it's not customisable is arguably a feature (if a poor one). However, there is definitely a bug present, because the hard-coded days are incorrect. See my comments above.

I wouldn't call this fixed by any means - there is still no way to set the week starting day for the system in general, such as for the calendar widgets, other than by changing the regional settings to some other country's entirely (like it was possible to do in older KDE versions).
not my problem.
