Invoice - Set the calendar to Sunday to Saturday

Set the calendar to Sunday to Saturday for everything, including Invoices. - Xero recently changed the Calendar for only the invoices. The week day now starts on Monday. I was informed this change was intentional and is currently not going to be changed back. Credit Notes, Recurring payments, quotes, bills, reports, literally everything else has the week starting on Sunday. This is very cumbersome for our business. My staff are constantly putting the wrong date on invoices. We operate at very high speeds because we have a lot of customers come in at a time, and a lot to do all at once. All day every day. I am begging you to please either change everything to the week day starting Monday or change the invoices calendar back. We prefer it with a Sunday start week as it is the same as all of our other programs. Or create a selection in the organization settings so people can choose. It is really hard to select the right date on the invoices, since it is the only place in Xero that has a calendar weekday starting with Monday. If that makes it easier for some retail stores, then please just change everything so we can just have it all one way. Then we can get used to the new way. I would love a phone call to show you what this is doing to our business. I love Xero. I love a lot of it's features but this was a really bad idea for my business!! And I can't be the only one experiencing pains and setbacks because of this.

    This is the single WORST thing Xero can do. NOWHERE ON EARTH uses a Gregorian Calendar of Monday-Sunday. ENDLESS errors are being made - and WHY?
    Why in the heck would your team think fixing the absolute UNIVERSAL standard of a Gregorian calendar display is a good idea?
    PUT IT BACK TO SUNDAY - SATURDAY.
    I can't believe that anyone at Xero thinks this is helpful.

    Please make this an option for us to control. We are a 7 day business and our pay week starts on Sunday. All my other calendars start on Sunday for this reason. It keeps catching me out that I can't align Xero with my business practice.

    NOT HAPPY JAN!!!
    That is as Aussie as having the Calendar start on a Sunday, just as it used to in XERO.
    Why change this on a few votes?
    I had no idea it was a thing...
    This needs to be set to be selectable, so we can have how we wont it like in all other Subscription SAAS programs we use.
    PLEASE fix this asap, as it confuses me everytime I open it.

    Please add an option for the customer to change the calendar start day.
    If different people want the calendar week to start on different days, please make it an option for the customer to choose which day they want the calendar to start on.
