It would be useful to have an informat like MDYAMPMw.d but for us non-US users.

You know you can create your own, customized informants?

Yes, thanks, but it is better to be formalised for production. There is no problem working around the issue, just involved.

Are there countries/regions that use a DMY date order and the am/pm separation?

Yes, Australia, New Zealand, England, etc.

With England I always assumed the MDY order, because of their customary naming of dates (May the Fourth ...)

So this might be of interest for people throughout the Commonwealth.

Very few countries use Month first.  Thankfully ;o) .

 

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country

 

Likewise for the dreadful 12-hour clock.

 

There is more disagreement about which countries use Sunday as the first day of the week, but that's also a minority.
