Internationalization of Computer Software (CALENDARS)

A couple of months I started a discussion on the "internationalization"
of software.  I received numerous excellent suggestions about paper sizes, 
time and date formats, format of floating point numbers (and the radix
character), and some machine-specific tips (support full 8 bit character
sets, etc.)

I have another question, about calendars:  which day should be in the
leftmost column?  Is Sunday always in the leftmost column everywhere?  Is
Sunday always in the leftmost column in the USA?  If the answer is no -
which other day(s) should be in the leftmost column:  Monday? Just
Monday?

Thanks in advance,






Eric Terrell
