Thanks for the image. This would be the file name, and not the modification date of the file as shown on the site, which should be shown in the correct format.

    Where do I read the modification date of the file?

      You can see them on the files page when list view is enabled.

        The chosen date format is DD/MM/YYYY, where do I read it after?
