--- Comment #200 from Maxim Egorushkin <maxim.yegorush...@gmail.com> ---
I did my +1 to this bug in 2016, and this issue appeared to be trivial at the
time for me, a fellow (naive) C++ developer, and a big fan of KDE Plasma.

It is a bit hard for me to fathom that such a seemingly trivial issue, not even
a bug but oversight in my eyes, couldn't be fixed easily. The comments here
suggest that the issue stems from a design oversight, in that KDE Plasma is
incapable of using user defined time/date formats independently of a
system-wide locale.

Could there be an option to create another system-wide locale which forks an
existing locale, but overrides date-time format (and other formats, if
desired), and could be used by KDE Plasma? May be a locale that overrides
date-time formats with ISO ones?

I wanted to take a look into this issue but couldn't find easy guides how to
check out KDE Plasma source, build it, and run it without destroying  my
existing KDE Neon desktop environment. That was in 2016, may be things changed
for better since then.

This is a rather annoying and unexpectedly difficult bug for the most
configurable DE, IMO, which is KDE Plasma. It didn't prevent me from doing my
tasks though, I can still sort by date asc/desc in Dolphin and that works as
expected. The dates and times don't look ISO-well-formed, but Dolphin does sort
by the timestamp correctly, and that's usable enough.

Elsewhere, I use:

* In `bash`: `alias ll="ls -al --time-style=long-iso --block-size=\'1"`
* In `emacs`: `(custom-set-variables ... (dired-listing-switches "-al
--time-style=long-iso --block-size='1") ... )`
