Yes indeed, it does not make enough sense. Any ideas ?

There are probably better ways to do it (using true date objects) but converting ISO date strings to US or EU date strings (yyyy-mm-dd to mm-dd-yyyy or dd-mm-yyyy) is almost "Split a string on dashes, rearrange the order of the elements and join them using slashes."
