public member function

std::time_get::date_order

dateorder date_order() const;

Return date order

Returns a value of enumerated member type dateorder indicating the preferred order of date components: day, month and year.

The possible order values are:

value	date order
`no_order`	No specific order, or format contains variable components other than day, month and year.
`dmy`	day, month, year
`mdy`	month, day, year
`ymd`	year, month, day
`ydm`	year, day, month

During its operation, the version of this function in the generic template simply calls the virtual protected member do_date_order, which is the member function in charge of performing the actions described above.

Parameters

none

  order = use_facet<time_get<char> >(loc).date_order();
  switch (order) {
    case time_get<char>::no_order : cout << "no_order"; break;
    case time_get<char>::dmy : cout << "dmy"; break;
    case time_get<char>::mdy : cout << "mdy"; break;
    case time_get<char>::ymd : cout << "ymd"; break;
