Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In my case, I only tested with a date field. In the table rows, the date is displayed in local format, for example 10. Jan. 2000. With manual filtering via the column header, a date in ISO format (yyyy-mm-dd) is expected.

Describe the solution you'd like

The ISO format is a good approach because it is international and simple.
Since data formats can be very diverse, I also tried around a bit until I reached my goal.

So at least there is no indication of the correct format.

Describe alternatives you've considered

We extend the possible formats by the format stored in the settings.

Research direction

Start by locating the date column-header filtering entry point and the code that formats dates in table rows. Compare the displayed local format with the ISO format accepted by filtering, then verify the chosen supported formats and how the expected format is communicated to users.
