Changing defalt week setting to Mon-Sun instead of Sun-Sat

A week beginning on Sun and ending on Sat is not helpful because that does not work in practice, where almost everyone conforms to the Mon-Sun week. Does it not make sense to change the default setting to Mon-Sun?

Hi,  @tushar_shah ‌, we've opened this idea for voting, but here's some food for thought: Canvas is used around the world, and while many (perhaps most) countries observe a Monday to Friday workweek, that is not universally the case: many countries observe a Sunday to Thursday or even Monday to Thursday working week (per Wikipedia). So perhaps imposing a default might not be the best approach.

Thanks Stefanie. So, essentially, there are probably just 2 variations of the whole week – Sun to Sat or Mon to Sun. I believe there might be very few countries which consider a Sun to Sat work week, with majority of them being Mon to Sun. The working days may vary from 4 in a handful of countries to 6 in few countries. Maybe rather than hard-coding, a customizable option can be offered, just like you have on Microsoft Calendars!?

Regards,

Yes,  @tushar_shah , a customizable option was what I had in mind; would you please edit the idea description to reflect that?
