There’s so much room here to display the format transform preview, but it’s cut off :frowning:

Also, why is the date format still restacked triangle format (MMM dd YYYY) when it’s set to English (Australia) (should be normal triangle-based dd MMM YYYY)

Take it up with Java: we're asking for a date/time formatter with whatever locale and specifiers you pass:

I do think the transform sequence could be ‘smarter’ about how it uses horizontal space, though. Currently it’s hardcoded so that each step can’t take more than 200px, but it might be possible to make that more flexible. Swing isn’t great at this kind of dynamic layout, though, in general.
