Helping my elderly mother-in-law with her bookkeeping.

Her bank is in a different country that uses date format DD-MM-YYYY.

I downloaded the csv from her bank and tried importing it to a spreadsheet.

The spreadsheet app does not understand that date format and doesn't treat it as a "date" column so it doesn't know how to sort the column by date.

I could adjust the data using Python csv module before importing to spreadsheet, but feels like it doesn't need to be this hard. 😩
