<pre>The key here probably is "configured in English" en-US system (or default
LibreOffice) locale with M/D/Y date order and "Dutch Belgium" nl-BE format with
D/M/Y date order. Input always follows the system locale, only if there is no
match (i.e. input does not result in a date as in 23/4/2019) the individual
format is tried.
Reason is (and was before) that for an empty cell there is no user visible
indicator what YMD order is expected (unless s/he looks up the format first).
The resolution for <a class="bz_bug_link
bz_status_RESOLVED bz_closed"
title="RESOLVED FIXED - Calc swaps day and month of edited dates if the format's DMY order does not match the locale's MDY order and date acceptance patterns match both."
href="show_bug.cgi?id=125109">bug 125109</a> is to keep the system locale's YMD order
processing (here M/D/Y) for new input in empty cells (again unless no match)
but follow the format's locale's YMD order (here D/M/Y) if the cell already
contains a date.
If you want to process always D/M/Y order in your constellation you can do two
things under Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages:
* either set the Locale setting to Dutch (Belgium), which also changes the date
acceptance patterns
* or set the (insert a) first date acceptance pattern with D/M/Y
