ISHRemote date time format change

Question

Recently, I upgraded the ISHRemote from v0.14-beta to V1.0. After the upgrade, my powershell script was failed to handle the time stamp data such as 'fishlastloginon'. Before the upgrade the time stamp data was generated in two types of formats as shown below: 
 - Format 1 dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss 
 ex) 14/11/2022 09:36:13 
 - Format 2 yyyy- dd-mm Thh:mm:ss 
 ex) 2022-07-11T13:01:22 
 After the upgdate the time stamp format has been unified as follows. It's preferable but there is one note. The order of month and date data has been exchanged. 
 Format yyyy- mm-dd Thh:mm:ss 
 ex) 2022-12-13T18:17:00 
 I believe that Dave intentionaly modified the ISHRemote code as above. 
 Best regards, 
 Naoki

Hi Naoki, 
 The change was intentional as the previous 0.14 and earlier implementation was deriving it from the Culture setup of your machine. So a script on a US English culture machine, and a UK English culture machine behaved diferently. The idea was to have a predictable (so fixed) parseable date format that would allow sorting . And yyyy-MM-dd sorts by definition while yyyy-dd-MM does not. 
 So indeed starting major version, it was changed as mentioned on https://github.com/RWS/ISHRemote/releases/tag/v1.0 and in more detail on ""Object properties with type DateTime parse incoming dates incorrectly swapping month/day &middot; Issue #137 &middot; RWS/ISHRemote" https://github.com/RWS/ISHRemote/issues/137
