Configure first day of the week?

[Jay]

OS: Linux Mint 22
digiKam: 8.6.0 Appimage

I have never used the calendar under the left Dates tab, but see that my week also starts on Monday. My Date/Time settings in Linux Mint for First Day of Week was set at Use Locale Default (Eastern U.S.) for the first day of the week. I then changed the First Day of Week to Sunday, restarted digiKam and the first day of the week didn't change; still starts on Monday. No matter, just some observation.
