In IOS 6 my date format was YYYY-MM-DD. When I switched to IOS 7, it changed to MM-DD-YYYY. How do you change it?

In IOS 6 my date format was YYYY-MM-DD, which is ISO 8601 standard used in Canada.  When I switched to IOS 7, it changed to MM-DD-YYYY format which is very confusing as all my cameras etc use YYYY-MM-DD.  How do you change it, like one can in OSX?

It appears previous versions of IOS would pick up your preferred date format from your OSX Mac. You can modify that to whatever you like.
Now if you select Canadian or American in IOS 7 you get only MM-DD-YYYY.  This is wrong for Canada as the preferred date format here is YYYY-MM-DD, just check your birth or expiry dates on your Ontario Drivers License or OHIP Health Card.  Or the date field at the bottom left of any Government of Canada website.
The trouble with using other Country codes is you tend to get their currency codes like € or £ and the terms like yesterday and today in their language.
