[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Receipt template date formats?

[McCanna, Terran]

I tested %a (and every other standard and non-standard letter, lower case and capitalized) and didn't find one that worked with %due_date%.

If %a works (and I haven't tested to see that it does) you would  
probably want this:

%DATE_FORMAT(%due_date_sort_value%, %a)%

The pre-formatted %due_date% doesn't usually parse as a date.
