Hi,
We're using your doc here: https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/managing-data-presentation-csv/
We're developing a configurable UI for end users to choose their own prefix to manage their data. When we add w+ and m+ to a date field we were expecting it to display just the day of the month or just the month respectively. Is this correct?
When we use D+, D4+, etc we get the hierarchy correctly, so the prefixes are working.
If our assumption of functionality above is not correct, what exactly do w+ and m+ do please?
Thanks in advance

Hello Chris,
Thank you for writing to us.
The m+ prefix specifies that the field is a month. This prefix is used for fields containing string values, for example, "January", "February", etc.
The w+ prefix specifies that the field is a day of the week. This prefix is used for fields containing string values, for example, "Monday", "Tuesday", etc.
m+Month,w+Weekday
January,Tuesday
February,Thursday
January,Monday
...
These prefixes help to sort weekdays and months correctly.
Please let us know if this helps.
Best Regards,
Ian
