#46366: Posted Date - Field Arrangement - Reflect Locale Format OR Combine Fields

 Priority:  normal       |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review

 In the "Quick Edit" form, as well as the Classic Editor's "Publish"
 Metabox, show 5 fields for entering the Publish Date for a Page/Post.

 [Month (Select)] [Day (Text)], [Year (Text)] @ [Hour (Text)]:[Minutes
 (Text)]

 This is the American format, with Month first, but is not a common format
 outside of the US.

 Even when the Date format is changed in Settings, that selected format is
 not used to arrange the Date Entry fields noted above.

 Suggestion: Integrate a JS Library which allows DateTimes to be entered in
 various formats, in a single field, and then be processed to produce a
 value in the format which is required.

 Example: I should be able to write a DateTime as "2019-2-28 10:00" and for
 that to be converted to "2 Feb 2019 10AM".
