Dear Maintainer,

The en_AU locale is using Sunday as the first day of the week, instead of
Monday. Australia officially uses Monday as the first day of the week. It has
officially adopted the ISO standard. Please refer here:

https://www.stylemanual.gov.au/grammar-punctuation-and-conventions/numbers-and-measurements/dates-and-time#IntlCom

Specifically: "Note: Style Manual lists Monday as the first day of the week.
This is consistent with the order of calendar days in a calendar week as
defined in the international standard adopted by Australia."

As Australia uses Monday as the first day of the week, the en_AU locale should
be updated to reflect this.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the report and the details. This issue has already been
addressed upstream in glibc version 2.39. I’m marking the bug as fixed
accordingly.
